This web site is a combination of an earlier version (1999) celebrating this class' 50th reunion and now the current 2009 version. The 1999 version was designed by Gisela Drayton and much of her fine work is still displayed on the ClassList, Memorial, & 50th Year pages. This current expanded version was designed by Rich Hill.  Photos are the courtesy of Ellen & Sam Ivey; Bud & Barb Harvey; Rollie Thompson; & Rich Hill.  We still have plenty of room for photos.  Please send to Rich Hill and they will be returned within a short time of scanning.
