Remember those years – 1951–1954?

In retrospect, the three short years we spent at Central passed very quickly and then we split. In reality, a lot more years were involved for many of us. Our associations began in elementary school, moved on to junior high and were completed at Central – something like 12 years.

Since graduation, we rarely have come into contact with most of our Central classmates. Everyone scattered far and wide to all points of the compass, many continuing their education, others entering the work force, some joining the military, or starting a family. A lot of us have not seen each other since.

Creating this web site, has forced frequent peaks at the Warrior to look up names and try to match them with photos. In doing so, many of the good times and experiences that we had resurfaced. In talking with people before and at our 50th Reunion, something became clear which hadn’t seemed possible.

People haven't really changed that much. They sound very much like they did 50 years ago.

Sure, I know– they’re completely different, just look in the mirror. What I meant is this, if you were friends back then, it was easy to reestablish old ties and start a conversation. If you haven't done so already, try it out. Give someone a call or write an email. It'll be fun, they’ll appreciate your call and you’ll feel good about it!

Of course, it helps if the person was enthusiastic and came to the reunion, but still works even when you contact someone who didn’t.

Another good way is to share your feelings with people on this web site.
Send a note about 1954, 2004, the Reunion, or maybe even why you couldn’t come. We'll put items of news about you in the new Class Notes section.You can reach those in the class who have access to the internet.

If your high school memories are getting vague, don't feel bad – it’s happening to most of us.

To share your interesting stories about experiences at Central, send an email and a short message to the Class of 1954.
