Every ten years, as summertime nears, An announcement arrives in the mail, A reunion is planned; it'll be really grand; Make plans to attend without fail.
I'll never forget the first time we met; We tried so hard to impress. We drove fancy cars, smoked big cigars, And wore our most elegant dress.
It was quite an affair; the whole class was there. It was held at a fancy hotel. We wined, and we dined, and we acted refined, And everyone thought it was swell.
The men all conversed about who had been first To achieve great fortune and fame. Meanwhile, their spouses described their fine houses And how beautiful their children became.
The homecoming queen, who once had been lean, Now weighed in at one-ninety-six. The jocks who were there had all lost their hair, And the cheerleaders could no longer do kicks.
No one had heard about the class nerd Who'd guided a spacecraft to the moon; Or poor little Jane, who's always been plain; She married a shipping tycoon.
The boy we'd decreed "most apt to succeed" Was serving ten years in the pen, While the one voted "least" now was a priest; Just shows you can be wrong now and then.
They awarded a prize to one of the guys Who seemed to have aged the least. Another was given to the grad who had driven The farthest to attend the feast.
They took a class picture, a curious mixture Of beehives, crew cuts and wide ties. Tall, short, or skinny, the style was the mini; You never saw so many thighs.
At our next get-together, no one cared whether They impressed their classmates or not. The mood was informal, a whole lot more normal; By this time we'd all gone to pot.
It was held out-of-doors, at the lake shores; We ate hamburgers, coleslaw, and beans. Then most of us lay around in the shade, In our comfortable T-shirts and jeans.
By the fortieth year, it was abundantly clear, We were definitely over the hill. Those who weren't dead had to crawl out of bed, And be home in time for their pill.
And now I can't wait; they've set the date; Our fiftieth is coming, I'm told. It should be a ball, they've rented a hall At the Shady Rest Home for the old.
Repairs have been made on my hearing aid; My pacemaker's been turned up on high. My wheelchair is oiled, and my teeth have been boiled; And I've bought a new wig and glass eye.
I'm feeling quite hearty, and I'm ready to party I'm gonna dance 'til dawn's early light. It'll be lots of fun; But I just hope that there's one Other person who can make it that night.
From: Ethel Curry To: Distrubution List Sent: Saturday, March 10, 2007 8:43 PM Subject: Ethel Curry Thought I would give you advance information. Time is of the essence so make your decision quickly and get registered. Hope we have the best Reunion ever. I know the committee has worked very hard in making plans for it being just that. Hopefully, our letter will be in your hands before the end of next week. ----- Original Message ----- From: DataPoppy@aol.com To: ethelandtom@sbcglobal.net Sent: Friday, March 09, 2007 2:46 PM Subject: Reunion 2007 29 Sand Trap Drive Maumelle, AR 72113 (501) 590-2778 March 13. 2007 Dear Classmates: I’m sure that you know that we are rapidly approaching the date for our 55th Little Rock High School graduation reunion. We are eager to make sure that every person, that is able to and wants to be there, is able to do so. With that thought in mind, I want to tell you that the Reunion Committee, that met on January 30, and again on March 8, in an attempt to finalize our plans, and discuss ways to get as many of the class there, as is possible, have come up with a plan that will hopefully get the maximum number of our classmates to the reunion. I am here to advise anyone that isn’t financially able to attend this reunion, to PLEASE contact me personally, and we will see if we can’t come up with a plan that will enable you to attend. What we have in mind is to try our dead level best, to make it financially possible for you to attend this reunion. At the same time, we are asking those classmates that can afford to chip in, assist some of the others to get there. You can do the entire class a HUGE favor by donating something to a special fund that we hope to use to make sure that anyone that is wanting to be at this reunion is able to be there. There is a place on the reservation page, that you can fill in, and donate, to help anyone that is not financially able to make it to this reunion. If you can help, and will send me whatever funds you can, I will use these funds, to the best of my ability, to help someone in need. There will be no discussions of names nor amounts, and you and I will be the only ones that know that you donated funds, or needed help to attend our reunion.. Please contact me at (501) 590-2778, and we will start the ball rolling, or if you so desire you can advise me of your need, or send me your check, at 29 Sand Trap Drive, Maumelle, AR 72113.
