In the fall of 1963 the Class of 1966 convened to spend the next three years at Skokie Junior High School in Winnetka.  We grew physically and mentally, and learned about the world and ourselves.  We gained lifelong friendships. 

After a 40^th reunion of that auspicious beginning, it is high time to celebrate the passage of 50 years since we assembled for that epic full-class photo on the lawn under the façade of that big school on Glendale Avenue.  Who would have thought a Beatles’ song would apply to us?  “When I’m 64” actually happens to most of us in 2016!

Amazing things happened in those three years:  The horrible day JFK was shot (and the subsequent first day the Winnetka schools ever closed); the exuberance of the British invasion and Beatlemania; somebody put a “kick me” sign on Miss Krenwinkle’s posterior; we ran the four trees; went to the wood shop, print shop, and home ec; first heard of a place called Vietnam; experienced our first gym classes where we took showers at school; the guys oogled Mlle. Hochberg; learned math and won rubber cigars from Dr. Lola May; noticed our bodies changing; and somehow survived the early teen years.  267 graduated on Wednesday, June 15, 1966.

Let’s gather again to celebrate the beginning of the sixth decade as Skokie School Class of ’66 alumni!  Eat, drink, listen to the music of the mid-60s, see people you haven’t thought about for years, and be merry.
