Chattanooga High School
60th Reunion, Class of 1946
October 6-7, 2006

(Playing ~ "Little Brown Jug")

As I was contemplating making this web page for our 60th reunion of the Class of 1946, I realized how difficult it is
to report on something that you did not experience. Unfortunately, I had an unavoidable conflict this year.

I have made a web page for each reunion beginning with the 50th in 1996 though, for that page, I had to rely on notes,
memories and pictures I had made as I did not start my personal web site until 2000. Though there is no web page for
our 45th reunion, I remember how special it was, and I made a few comments about it on the main City High page. Including
that home page for our class, I have now made eight (8) web pages for the Class of '46. All can be linked to from the main
City High page. Music has been a very important part of my life, as it probably also has been for you, so it was only natural
that I would include the music from our era on each web page ..... the "Big Band" music that we grew up with.

This has been the most difficult to make as I had to rely on other classmates to give me a sense of this year's reunion.
I think maybe Celeste gave me the best clue when she said it was "very low key and full of visiting." And that was probably
what was special this year .... no program, good food and lots of time to visit with friends! I believe there were about
60 in attendance. On both nights, I understand several spoke informally about their memories of City High days.

For the photos I give credit and my thanks to Jo Ann Effron Richelson and to Charlotte Chamberlain Crevasse's son Chris!

I believe this will be the final web page for our class. I do plan to keep editing the "In Memoriam" section when necessary,
hoping that won't happen too often ........ so take care!!

Saturday night's reunion dinner was held at the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club. The beautiful roses at each table
were reminiscent of the roses carried by all the girls at commencement exercises in 1946.
Each lady was encouraged to take a rose at the end of the evening.
