Coach Davis Says...

---

Reunions aren't about...

Waistlines, Hairlines, or Credit lines
They're about Lifelines
Reunions are about reconnecting with our friends

from some of the best years of our lives...
It's about caring for our classmates,

teachers and their families - our families!
♦ Recoginize ♦
We're not getting older...

We're becoming a classic!
Make plans to reconnect with someone today,

you'll be glad you did!

Know that

Life is fleeting

The dream begins with a teacher who believes in you,

who tugs and pushes and leads you to the next plateau,

sometimes poking you with a sharp stick called "truth."

High School Reunion

What happened to those handsome guys

with washboard abs and muscled thighs?

Those youthful, energetic teens

with roaming hands and urgent jeans?

 

And all the girls with tiny waists,

some were loose and others chaste?

We had that storied teenaged glow

the world was there for us to know.

 

Now everybody looks the same

we're age-enhanced and lost our game.

The boys who had the perfect bods

are doughy or as thin as rods.

 

Those who had the thickest hair

now boast a strand, just here and there.

The pretty girls, once shaped like 8

don't have the curves to celebrate.

 

It seems the older we become

we're less unique and all just one.

Recalling life when it was fun,

Stick a fork in us - I think we're done!

~ Sandy Stert Benjamin
