Southwest High School 
CLASS of 1965 
50th REUNION WEEKEND 
July 24-26, 2015   





Dear Rose,

By now you should have received your invitation in the mail for the reunion weekend. 

If you have already perused the invite, you can easily see that we have a terrific weekend planned for you! If you have not yet given the invitation a look, please do so. You will find the entertainment and activities to be a great way for YOU to enjoy a time of celebration with old friends and make new ones.

We will be sending monthly emails with reunion information and stories of our past. Here is a bit from me:

You know...misty water-colored memories of the way we were...Like me being kicked out of physical education class and made to see our principal, Mr. Classen, for kicking a volley ball AFTER Mr. Ford blew the whistle...shameful of me, I know. Funny and strange now, right? But hey, remember...back then, girls could not even wear slacks if it wasn't below a certain temperature outside! Yep, we had a LOT of rules!

This reunion is really about YOU. Reunions are fun, especially when we have now reached a time to reflect and smile about those things we remember with joy. So, perhaps you have a memory of a grade-school buddy/friend, a great teacher, a funny day in junior high or high school, or perhaps at a game, or a dance, or Queen Anne Kiddyland, at Big Reggie's Danceland, choir trips, the Washington D.C. trip. We all had varied experiences. Many have become quite funny after the passing of 50 years!

CLASSMATES, SEND ME YOUR STORIES! 
We will celebrate them with you and our classmates. We will share your memory (with your permission, of course) in these future updates. If you have a story and/or a picture you would like to share, please email it to me:
We look forward to hearing from you.

Check these communications out. They will be fun, hopefully give you a laugh or initiate a memory of someone or sometime you have not thought of in 50 years. Think of it! "How the heck did we get here so fast?" This is the comment we have heard from many of our classmates.

Watch for monthly updates and learn more about the plans for our 50th - parties, details and interesting factoids about the Southwest Class of 1965!!!
