Remember

Remember the souls of those who’ve passed – 
Brave men and women who breathed their last
On seas of battle, in skies of war, 
On every blood-soaked field and shore.
Their voices cry to us from where they lie –
“It wasn’t my goal that day to die.
But my life was mine.  It was mine to give,
And I gave it up so that others could live.
I’d give it again if that’s what it cost
To keep your freedoms from being lost.”
Remember the souls of those who sleep –
The ones who came home, but their wounds ran deep.
On seas of battle, in skies of war, 
On every blood-soaked field and shore –
The things they endured and the things they saw
Left them empty or left them raw.
Some overcame, but all of these brave
Carried haunting memories to the grave.
Remember them all.  Give these honored their due.
The things that they did? They were done for you.

Janet Lee Davis

INQUIRING MINDS WOULD LIKE TO KNOW!! HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE IN OUR GRADUATING CLASS OF 1975. HOW MANY DO YOU THINK THERE WERE?? THERE HAVE BEEN NUMBERS FLOATING FROM 300 TO 600. WE DECIDED TO GO TO THE LEDGER TO FIND OUT THE ANSWER TO THE QUESTION ON SO MANY OF OUR MINDS. WHERE ELSE WOULD A TRUE BROKEN ARROWAN GO TO FIND OUT THE ANSWER?!?!? THE WEEKEND AFTER THE GRADUATION, IT WAS REPORTED THAT 372 GRADUATED.

SO, THE OFFICIAL GRADUATION CLASS COUNT FOR THE CLASS OF 1975 IS 372.

 

WHAT A BLESSED GROUP OF CLASSMATES WE HAVE!! I AM THANKFUL TO BE A PART OF THIS AMAZING GROUP OF PEOPLE!!

 

EVERYONE AT THE SATURDAY EVENING EVENT HAD A MOMENT TO HONOR THOSE CLASSMATES WHO WE HAVE LOST. WITH A TRIBUTE MEMORIAL SLIDESHOW.

 OUT OF OUR GRADUATING CLASS OF 372, WE HAVE LOST A KNOWN AMOUNT OF 58 CLASSMATES. I ACTUALY FOUND OUT ABOUT ANOTHER ON FRIDAY NIGHT. .AND I WAS ABLE TO SLIP HER INTO THE SLIDESHOW.

DOROTHY REE WHO WENT TO CENTRAL AND GRADUATED WITH US, MARRIED LARRY LAVINESS, WHO GRADUATED TWO YEARS AHEAD OF US. DOROTHY PASSED AWAY IN 1990 OF A RARE DEGENERATIVE DISEASE. AND LARRY PASSED AWAY NOT TOO TERRIBLY LONG AGO. I AM SO GLAD LARRY'S BROTHER AND SISTER IN LAW ATTENED THE FRIDAY NIGHT CELEBRATION.

DONT PUT OFF SPENDING TIME WITH YOUR FRIENDS AND CLASSMATES. PLEASE, PLEASE, CHERISH THESE DAYS WE HAVE WITH EACH OTHER!!'
