ECHS CLASS OF '59

REUNION NOTES

 

Well, the big evening is now a beautiful memory.  The picnic allowed us more time to visit with classmates, and the cruisers enjoyed a great trip.

 

Those who attended the dinner event know, first-hand, what a success it was!  For those who missed it.... here is a little summary:

One of the highlights of the evening was a surprise performance by the El Camino Band... playing the "Fight Song" and "Alma Mater".  This was even a surprise to the committee who had made arrangements, because we anticipated a group of 10-15 band members.... but there were more like 50-60!  VERY loud... VERY fun!!! 

 

You may or may not be aware of the school's plans to build a 500 seat auditorium, with scene shop, orchestra pit, rehearsal rooms, top of the line lighting and sound, and an art gallery within the library.  Our class has now participated in the fundraising for this new endeavor.  In addition to the donation check we had already planned, generous classmates put $400 into the band hats that night. 

 

We had a slide-show/video presentation that played on a large screen throughout the evening.   We had great music from the 50's, pre-programmed on CDs so we could control the volume.  None of the too-loud-for-conversation music that we have experienced at other reunions.   The food was good!  Definitely not the usual banquet fare that you can take or leave.

 

EVERYONE in attendance obviously enjoyed the evening.  There was no hint of an "uncomfortable" silence.  People went from group to group, visiting, laughing, hugging... you get the picture.  Even the faculty "guests" stayed the entire evening.  Marcia Haley - still looking young enough to be one of our classmates.... Fred Kronsbein and his wife... LeRoy (Red) Hughes and his wife.  They very much appreciated our invitation, and felt like the honored guests they truly were.

 

The picnic on Saturday was also nice.  Several classmates that had not been to the dinner were there.... along with quite a few members of earlier graduating classes.  The weather was surprising.  No one anticipated cloudy skies, showers, and wind, but we didn't let any of that interfere with our fun.

 

The photographers took many, many pictures at the Radisson... personal pictures (picnic and cruise) will also be added to the CD.  Hope you will get your order in for this great way to remember our 50th reunion.

 

If we didn’t know it already, it is now undeniable….. WE ARE MEMBERS OF AN AWESOME GRADUATING CLASS!!!
