Do you remember our class song? Do you remember our class flower? What about Sr. Trip, the straw market, the disco and the "Crestkies".......If you have any funny stories, please post them for us all to read and laugh. I saw some postings on Van and Mark's facebook page, something about peanut butter.......Let's get some discussion started!

Does anyone remember Coach Tucker in biology class?
I felt sorry for him until he made Coach Harris paddle me in the 10th grade for something I am sure I did not do.

Also, 9 th grade algebra when Coach Harris scolded me for saying christmas clothes?

Jeeez, that picture of me & Bev as 6th Grade Harvest Carnival Royalty brings back memories. Look closely at my forehead. I have a band-aid on it because I had a 3-wheeler wreck that afternoon on the T.A. Futrell football practice field where Dr. Mitchell, the dentist, has his house now. I cut my forehead and got stung by a honey bee I landed when the ATC-90 pile-drived me into the turf. It bent the fender & the handlebars. I didn't get my ass whipped by my dad right away since we were headed for the harvest carnival.
I still to this day have a scar on my forehead from that very day.
I sure wish I had those awesome plaid pants back & Bev, you looked sexy in that dress. Hehehe.

Sorry Van, but those senior moments must be kicking in. That picture was actually in 4th grade. I am sure your children would love to see you in those plaid pants too. We've got more pictures that we will be adding so keep checking back. Still missing in action is Eddie Cullins. If you know of his whereabouts, please let me know. Has anyone gotten a response from Todd Vance and his military e-mail?

Seems to me that someone disappeared the minute we got on the boat on the Sr. Trip and we rarely saw him during the whole trip?

Guys and girls just a note to let you know Jimmy Don Dupuy and I kinda kept contact, the reason for no funeral ,he requested cremation, he has a son, Slade soph. in Ark. Tech and a daughter Sara who just recently won Miss High School Homecoming Queen Representing Warren, Ark. wher Coach Dupuy was principle, and she won Miss homecoming Queen of Arkansas and went on recently to win at disneyworld in California Miss U.S.A. High School Homecoming Queen. Don't you know he would have been proud. By the way guys you reckon Doc. would eat me up on grammer and run on sentences. Coach Raney

She definitely would be trying to tell us a thing or two. I did get a chance to visit with Doc a couple of weekends ago. She is doing great. She has 4 dogs that keep her company and her brothers dog that "sleeps over" a lot.

She may even get the ole ball and chain out for us.

does anyone remember where we had our senior sports banquet? I found some pictures of us at the banquet and I don't recognize the place. Coach Raney, you remember everything, help me out.

REUNION 2008
I Had a Righteous Time!

It was really good to see all of you again. It is also great to know that most all of us are still in good health. We’re not getting any younger or healthier, but none of us is on our death-bed. I would have liked to have seen many of our classmates that weren’t able to make it to this get-together. I understand Eddie Cullins & Missy Robinson couldn’t get off work and that Larry Wilson was recovering from surgery. I also realize Mark Vaughnan, Riitta Valkama, & Todd Vance were just a little too far away to make the trip logistically viable, but what about Joey Bowman, Tony Barnes, Deanne Gordon, Kim Brown, Tammy Barker, Nina Aunspaugh,, and those classmates that are fairly local? I sure am disappointed that they weren’t there. It would have been good to see all of them & Coach Jones as well.
The pictures that Beverly brought were cool. They brought back memories galore. It’s amazing how much we can remember when a picture is staring us in the face. I had to take a nap to prepare for a late night out and some of my dance moves were a little rusty, but for the most part I’m still the same guy that graduated in 1983. I’m just trapped in some old dude’s body.
The food was good, the band was good, and the drinks were cold. What more can a person ask for? Jonna, Bev, & Susan….you did good! See you all next time if I’m still alive.

Sincerely,
Van Alan Hill

I'm sorry I missed seeing all of you. I was sick and could not seem to get over it fast enough. I hope you all had a great time. Van, when I come see Kathy in Clarksville may be we can come by and see you.
Love to all'
