MacArthur High School Class of 1970 50th Reunion

Our LAST Quarterly Gathering will be in October - 17th and it will be a LUNCH! 11:30 am - same location - Lupe Tortillas in Los Colinas. That being said, and given, unless someone wants to come forward and take the reins for another reunion, I was asked to schedule some ADDITIONAL options for the weekend of October 18-20th as sort of a mini-reunion. Keep in mind, that next year, 2025 would be our 55th. And if anyone would like to take on planning a reunion, I am certainly happy to pass the baton. At our last QG, several mentioned they liked the idea of meeting quarterly and thought it was more intimate. However, those that show up, ALWAYS show up (THANK YOU) and few new faces attend. Utilizing the entire weekend in October with other things to do as a group may entice some out-of-towners to come. I am proposing the lunch on Thursday, possibly a boat rental on Lake Grapevine (or Lewisville) on Friday, a live music venue on Saturday evening (maybe even a trip to Winstar on Saturday for some) and brunch on Sunday. If you would like to participate in any of these, please let me know. I especially need to know if you want to be on a leisurely boat ride on Friday as I will have to get rental prices based on the number willing to go. (Price per person based on size of boat required).

Our 50th Reunion is one for the history books.  What a great turn out and an amazing weekend.  Friday night we hosted a "meet and greet" for all that were registered.  There was approximately 60+ who attended and got an early start on reacquainting with friends from both Irving High School and MacArthur.  Cash bar, lots of laughs, a few doggies and most out of towners gathered from 6:00 until 9:00 pm.  Then a late-night stop at Esparza's Mexican Food Restaurant in Grapevine for those still not wanting to end the night.  

Saturday was 'do your own thing' for most, but for the Committee it was show time to decorate and get ready for the big evening.  Doors opened at 6:00.  Registration went smoothly, thanks to Pam Flynt Knight, Becki Campbell Gilliam, Elaine Barham Vowel and others.  A full fajita buffet opened at 6:30 and although the line was slow moving, the food was delish!  I know our out-of-town guests enjoyed having good ol' Tex-Mex again and free margaritas!  

Close to 200 were in attendance for the evening and our DJ, Bryan Martin and MC, Monica Demar kept the music and activities lively!  Individual photos for an impending memory book (I hope you got yours taken) as well as group photos of Irving's Baseball team and class photos of both Irving and Mac will be included.  If you were not able to make it to the reunion, you will still be able to order a memory book in the next few weeks.  I will send out an email to everyone on how to do that.

MHS even had two very special guests, Melalee Camak and Tracy Youngblood, former teachers at Mac joined the fun and reunited with their now 70-year-old students.  So nice to see them both and reminisce.  

Also, a very special thanks to Patsy Farris Kirkpatrick and Robert Worchester on the beautiful “In Memory” display of our departed friends.  The list grows ever so sadly.

The evening included special dances for those married 45+ years, those that married their high school sweetheart and all singles (where were the single guys???)  Then wound down with the presentation of awards and recognition of the Committee who helped make the evening possible and CAKE! 

To all that made it, thank you!  Coming and having a great evening with us made the 3 year long planning well worth it!  To those unable to come, please enjoy the photos we have posted on FB and here, on our website.

Will there be another reunion in 2025? 

Sincerely,

Your AMAZING Committee Members!

Mark Wagner, Linda Mangum Hastings, Robert Worchester, Patsy Farris Kirkpatrick, Pamela Flynt Knight, Elaine Barham Vowel, Becki Campbell Gilliam, Dave Patrick, Larry and Rhonda Stevens, Candace Glavin Kinsey and Ed Rios
