Class of 1948

The Class of 1948 celebrated their 60^th Class Reunion on August 8, 9, and 10^th. The festivities began on Friday night with a cookout at the home of Warren and Flo Harlan.  Sixty years rolled away as members took the opportunity to reconnect and reacquaint with one another while enjoying good food, fond memories, and some very tall tales.  Saturday morning, the class continued their recollection of "the good old days" over coffee and sweet rolls at the home of Fauneil Stewart.  Later on Saturday evening, thirty-five class members and spouses enjoyed dinner at the Putnam Inn Restaurant, followed by a very brief, and often humorous, business meeting. The reunion concluded on Sunday morning with a breakfast buffet, hosted by Richard Conrad at the Putnam Inn.  Twenty-eight class members and spouses gathered to exchange farewells, addresses, and promises to keep in touch.

One special item of business was discussed during the business meeting on Saturday night.  Marilyn Twomey Jackson presented the financial report for the Rex Terry Cheerleader Award, and the class decided to increase the cheerleading award to one hundred dollars each year. The Rex Terry Cheerleader Award has been presented for over fifty years to outstanding Greencastle High School cheerleaders. The award was established by members of the Class of 1948 to honor the memory of their friend and classmate, Rex Terry, who was killed during the Korean War.

The Class of 1948 will not hold another official reunion, so all members were encouraged to attend the Greencastle High School All-Class Reunion every two years. In lieu of further reunions, members of the class decided to meet for lunch at 11:30 a.m. on the first Thursday of each month, starting in October 2008.  Hopefully, local residents and travelers alike will take the opportunity to attend and to replay all those wonderful memories of yesteryear. 

1948 Class Members in attendance at the 60^th Reunion were:  Geraldine Aker Pritchett, Jim Birt, Hope Erikson Birt, Imogene Braden Decker, Fauneil Brattain Stewart, Robert Bruner, Wanda Buis Grimes, Richard Conrad, Jim Gram, Lois Gray Coe, Lowell Gray, Jack Harlan, Warren Harlan, Paul Heavin, Frank Hutcheson, Robert Jackson, Marilyn Twomey Jackson, Charles Miles, Bill Reynolds, Robert Ruark, Clema Shonkwiler Perkins, William Smith, Barbara Stites Torr, Arthur Sunkel, Peggy Tennant Jones, and Betty Vanlandingham Nodley.
