Hi 1957 Classmates: The last time you heard from us – almost a year ago – our 50th year class reunion probably still sounded pretty far off. But now it is just a few weeks away. As promised, here is the follow-up letter with more last-minute info regarding our special day. The schedule of the day goes like this:

           
Thus read the opening paragraph of the final follow-up letter the 50th class reunion committee sent to their 1957 classmates to remind them to attend their recent day of festivities.

           
Twenty-nine classmates and spouses and two spouses of deceased classmates out of a class of 43 attended the full day of activities.

           
Classmates met in the morning and took a hors d’oeuvres cruise on The Lost Weekend on Grand Lake St. Marys, then went back to the Parkway Schools community room for a time of fellowship and the showing of the hour-long DVD the committee “sweat blood” over to get made.
           
In the evening the group joined other Rockford High School graduates at Shane’s Park community building for the annual alumni association dinner at which the class was recognized.

           
It was decided not to wait a whole five years for the next get-together “since none of us is getting any younger,” so Pat Shindeldecker Frysinger graciously volunteered to host a “half way in between” reunion in a couple of years.

           
The 50th reunion committee was Gretchen Miller Bollenbacher, Dot Shaffer Burley, Sue Deitsch, Pat Shindeldecker Frysinger, Dan Henkle, Helen Huffman Luginbill, Tom Pryer and Mike Van Fleet. 

Pictured is the Class of 1957 from Rockford High School who recently held their 50th class anniversary with a full day of activities.

On July 14, 2007 the Parkway Class of 1967 met for their 40^th Class Reunion at the new Parkway School.  The class had a total of 76 graduates, and of those, 9 are deceased, leaving a total of 67.  There were a total of 36 graduates present.  With other classmates, spouses, and former faculty and spouses present, there were a total of 74 present. 

The evening opened with some remarks by M.C. Greg Schumm, and the blessing for the evening meal was given by Ben Rodriquez.  Our delicious meal was catered by Missy Gehle and enjoyed by all.  Following the meal we were treated to reminiscences by Wade Marbaugh, given by Greg Schumm, since Wade was not able to come from Atlanta, Georgia because of the ill health of his father.  After the pictures of our former faculty and classmates were taken by Dean Ulrey, a tour of the new school was given to those who wished to see this wonderful facility.  Much visiting was done by everyone throughout the evening and we remembered many good things about our time together in high school.
