Annette Day Labbe prepared a couple scrapbooks and Tony Levesque brought several pictures and mementos for everyone to view.

Dana Morrow flew home from the country of Oman (10,000 miles) to attend and he was awarded a copy of the class picture for traveling the farthest. A special gift was presented to Tony Levesque by classmates for his work on the class reunion and Class President Tim Nightingale stated it was to ensure that Tony works on the rest of them as well. Former teacher Bob Osterblom participated.

Dick Nichols, also a former teacher and coach for the class, took the group picture and many candid pictures.

Those classmates unable to attend were dearly missed and a moment of remembrance was held for deceased members.

Those classmates gathered for the reunion have voted that a 40th Reunion be held at the same location and with a similar venue.
