Dear Classmate,
The 50th reunion of the MHS Class of 1966 will be September 23-24 in Marysville. This coincides with Football Homecoming events. A parade down Broadway begins at the courthouse at 2 pm on Friday, September 23rd. Our Class will have a float and all classmates are invited to ride on it. A pep rally will be held at the conclusion of the parade at the Pony Express Statue at 7th & Broadway. After the pep rally there is a free picnic/BBQ tailgate party in the City Park. There will be an informal gathering after the picnic at the Knights of Columbus Hall, 302 N 15th St. The football game begins at 7 pm at the stadium. There is a section of the grandstand reserved for our Class.
On Saturday, come to the Wagon Wheel, 703 Broadway, for breakfast starting at 9:00 AM. After that, a number of informal events will be hosted by our classmates who live in Marysville, including a tour of the high school. Major renovations are scheduled for the building. This might be your last chance to see MHS as you remember it!
Nancy Price Peschel has arranged for us to use the Knights of Columbus Hall starting at 6 PM Saturday evening. If you plan to attend, we need a head count! So send $15 per person or $25 per couple to Nancy Williams, 330 E. Commercial, Waterville, KS 66548. A meal will be served, and a cash bar will be available. There will be a short meeting of the Class to discuss any old or new business, a treasurer’s report, and a remembrance of our deceased classmates.
The committee is making every effort to contact everyone who was ever a member of the Class of 1966. If you are in contact with any class members, please reach out to them and encourage them to attend this event. The event is not exclusive! Please invite any friends or relatives who would enjoy spending time with our Class. Enclosed is a list of our classmates’ addresses and phone numbers; please let us know of any changes or incorrect information.
Paul Jones has set up a free website for the class: www.mhs66.com. Please go to it, sign up, check on what your classmates have been up to, and let us know about you. We hope that in the future this website will help keep us updated on our fellow classmates. There is also a Facebook group www.facebook.com/groups/1018170278230918/ if you are on Facebook, please join.
If you can’t attend but would like to call in, Facetime, or Skype (ask your grandkids how) during the reunion, call Paul Jones at 913-645-8206.
Best Regards,
MHS Class of 1966 Reunion Committee
