Your Reunion Committee

We wanted to let everyone know that we as the Class of 1965 have purchased a Brick for the MHS Booster Club Buy-A-Brick Campaign to support the MHS Athletic Program.  The brick paver will be displayed at the MHS Stadium in Honor of the Class of 1965.  When I was at the stadium I took a photo of the brick.

We've learned, laughed, and faced many challenges together.  Let's not let those endearing memories or friendships fade.  I hope all of you have rekindled old friendships and maybe found a few new ones at our 50th Reunion.  Hope everyone had a great time!

Some sad news.  James Bitler passed away on October 21, 2015.  He lived in Metuchen.

There are five things that you cannot recover in life: 

(1) The Stone...after it's thrown 
(2) The Word...after it's said, 
(3) The Occasion...after it's missed, and 
(4) The Time...after it's gone. 
(5) A person...after they die 

"I find each day too short for all the thoughts I want to think, all the walks I want to take, all the books I want to read, and all the friends I want to see."
