60th Anniversary Reunion
Class of 1957, Edmonds High School
EDMONDS, WA, July 28, 2017. Eighty folks filled the foyer of the Edmonds Center for the Arts (ECA) to celebrate the 60th Reunion of the Class of 1957. Classmates from 1956, 1957 and 1958, their spouses and guests, chatted and laughed while taking a tour of their former high school, led by Sarah Mixson, Rental/Stage Manager.
Some classrooms have been repurposed into conference and meeting rooms. For example, the science lab is now the adinistrative office for the ECA, which didn't curb the comments and chuckles about memories of bygone antics in those rooms!
The gymnasium is still functional, and painted in our school colors of purple and gold—a tribute to the Tigers who played here. (If you visit Edmonds, stop by and take a look).
A short program, written and directed by Bruce Evans ('57), featured a chorus of class members leading us in singing the Alma Mater, and join in we did! Other songs of "our era" were sung, and Bruce recited a few fun-filled
"Remembrances of the 50's" for our enjoyment. The audience reacted to it all with great enthusiasm!
After the entertainment, group photos were taken outside, in front of the sun-lit building. A picnic at Starkenburgs followed the next day.
