Toast to the Class at the 40th Reunion 

 

Long Journey Back Home
 
Welcome, Berea High Class of 1968, spouses and “mercy dates”.
 
Just a few thoughts on the 40 year journey “back to our futures”, put to paper after the great gathering of friends on Friday night before tonight’s Reunion Party. These following observations are drawn from the wisps of conversation floating in the air at Tony-K’s last night.
 
The last time a lot of us saw each other was forty years ago. Forty years since we last talked about: Pep Rallies, TWIRP dances and “Mudpark games”; wet jock straps, spoolies, gum wrapper chains and Boss 302’s; Rac’s, Sid’s, Surfers and Nerds; what’s playing at the Berea Show; and who we saw making out at the Pizza King.
 
Life was good then. We were young, immortal and ready to change the world!! We ran off that graduation stage and scattered to the wind and entered the REAL WORLD.
1968 was a chaotic year, the war was growing, RFK and King were shot, the world was changing forever. We were the last wave of the 1950’s and the first wave of the “Peace and Love” generation …. we were the first to wear bell bottoms, burn incense outside of church, dance to psychedelic music and the first to get “Lotto Draft numbers”. 
 
Now here we are today 40 years later….once again, gathered together at the genesis of this journey called LIFE. We’ve traded in our GO-Go boots for orthopedic shoes; trimming our mustaches for trimming the hair in our ears; cruising in Hot Rods for driving Hybrids. In our world today….”going steady” means I don’t need prunes today. We have all learned that middle age isn’t for sissies…..you must be BRAVE.
 
Listening to the stories at Tony-K’s last night I heard some common “themes of life”.
But just like in High School, the guys and the girls saw the last forty years very, very differently.
 
On the subject of Aging:
 
Most of us guys have lost their 1960’s long hair…..and in fact have developed a hair/sunlight allergy whereby the more time we spend in the sun, the more of our hair migrates down our backs and hides on our butts.
 
A lot of the women don’t miss having to iron their 1960’s straight long hair, and going bra-less ….. but they bemoan the fact that the 32B bra they wore in Berea High School
is now a 36 Long.
 
On the subject of Kids:
 
Most women chose to have children because they wanted to nurture and care for the next generation.
 
Most men decided to have children to have compatible genetic parts, just in case they needed a kidney or liver transplant.
 
                                                           
On the subject of Raising Teenagers:
 
Most women thought that “the teenage years….were not at all like the brochure!”
 
Most men had only one word on raising teenagers…..TASERS!
 
I admit, that when our two daughters were teenagers, I actually forgot their names.
I just called them NO and HELL NO!
 
On the subject of the best inventions of the last 40 years:
 
The women thought the best inventions were: the micro-wave, disposable diapers,
panty hose and cell phones.
 
The men said: mini-skirts, hot wings, the remote control and the “instant replay”.
 
On the subject of Music: Rock and Roll vs Rap
 
Tommy James and the Shondels, Procol Harem, Strawberry Alarm Clock, Turtles, Lynyrd Skynyrd, the Beatles, Rod Stewart, Elton John, the Rolling Stones, the BeeGees, Righteous Brothers, Simon and Garfunkel, The Who, Stairway to Heaven, Freebird, Happy Together, Unchained Melody, Yesterday, Pinball Wizard, Mrs. Robinson, Layla, Imagine, Maggie Mae, Bridge Over Troubled Water ……. need I say more!
They will be playing our songs for 1,000 years!
 
On the subject of the best medical miracles of the last 40 years:
 
Women said: the birth control pill.
 
Men said: Viagra!
 
On the subject of Love:
 
When thinking of “being in love”, most women said they hear Celine Dion singing in their heads.
 
When thinking of “being in love”, most men said they hear MeatLoaf.
 
On the subject of Changing Dreams:
 
40 years ago most women wanted to change the world, to work towards world peace.
 
40 years ago most guys just wanted to get laid.
 
Today most women are happy just to have peace in their family.
 
Today most men, just want to get laid, and live to see the Browns beat the Steelers!
 
 
Forty years is a long journey into the unknown. And the journey for all of us has not been easy. Most of us have had the corners of our dreams worn out by the realities of life, work, health and family. Listening to the stories last night proves that there are silent heroes among us in this room. Wounded souls who have carried heavy loads and yet persevered. Brave souls who wake up each day and make a difference in someone’s life.
 
Over the last 40 years, none of us have had perfect lives, but we all have had perfect moments and sometimes perfect days with perfect friends to help us through the dark nights. But tonight we’ve come together and hit the “pause button” on our lives. Come together after 40 years to celebrate the Class of 1968.
 
So here’s a toast:
 
To those who are here tonight; to those classmates who are no longer with us; to the old friends you made in high school and to the new ones you made here tonight.
 
Here’s to the sweet memories of youth, and the life lessons we have learned along our journey.
 
Finally, here’s to those in our lives who have showed us the real meaning of being brave, …. and why after 40 years we are proud to call ourselves brave…. Berea Braves!
 
Peace my friends,

Ed Vasel
