50 Year Reunion Recap
Events began on Friday Sept. 18, with a golf tournament open to classmates, spouses and friends. The tournament was held at Legion Memorial Golf Course in Everett with perfect weather conditions for golf. Highlighting the occasion was the opportunity for our 1959 state championship golf team to reunite for the first foursome to tee off. They were George Kaufman, Bob Trosvig, Jim Smith and Bob Borup. Fortunately for the rest of us, they eliminated themselves from the day's competition. The winning foursome was Jim Barcott, Judy Martin Gish (EHS'60), Duane Pearson (EHS'58) and Mike Geddis (Cascade HS'63). The tournament was well chaired by Jim Barcott, Jeannie Larson Geddis and Larry Wold, who are most grateful for the generous donations sponsoring each of the 18 holes.
Following the golf was an opportunity to visit with classmates in the Jackson Suite of the Holiday Inn where snacks were served. This, too, was fun and successful with one highlight being the attendance of classmate, Willis Jackson, who had transferred to EHS in his senior year and brought his Nesika to be signed by those he both did and didn't know. Kudos to Willis for his attitude and for making the most of all of the events.
Saturday AM started out somewhat wet, which was a concern for the car show but didn't dampen our spirits (groan). John Kuljis, Jerry Willins, Jack Shannon (EHS'60) and Dave Ramstad coordinated this activity. Was great to see these beautiful cars.
At 10:00 AM the tour of the high school began, headed by Bill Maher. We were treated to a most interesting short talk by local historian, Larry O'Donnell (EHS'55) who told us how we acquired the Seagull as our mascot and how we became the "School of Champions." (For that story, see the Class News item below.) Everett High School has been beautifully remodeled and kept true to its original architecture wherever possible. Pride in our alma mater is evident both in the memorabilia that decorates the hallways and in the spotless condition in which the building and grounds are maintained.
Next on our agenda, was the history presentation at the Everett Public Library by our own historian, David Cameron. His presentation was attended by over 100 classmates and very well received. We thank David for his knowledge and his willingness to share with the rest of us.
The main event which was dinner and socializing at the Holiday Inn in Everett, attended by 303 individuals including five of our former teachers and two of their spouses. The social hour began at 5:00 PM where we all tried our best to recognize each other, not that anyone had changed that much!. A nice dinner including prime rib, chicken and salmon was served at 7:00 PM followed by remarks by Cec McMillan Stenning, Mary Knoll Carlson, Dave Ramstad and Jim Barcott. Great photographic efforts were made throughout the evening by Don Berg, Tom and Chris Gaines and their daughter, Michelle. Group pictures were taken as well as candid and posed photos. These can be viewed on line. Music was provided by a local DJ group which inspired some of us to get up and dance, highlighted by Tom Close doing his Elvis impersonation accompanied by dance partner Nancy Matson Jordan. We are obviously getting older as everyone had left by midnight, though a good time was had by all.
Sunday, our picnic at Floral Hall in Forest Park was a continuation of the festivities. Diane and Don Berg chaired this function very successfully. Food was great and in abundance. Decorations and memorabilia that Carol Zaretzke and committee had provided for Sat. evening as well, was displayed and easy to view. The turnout for this appeared to be over 100, and once again it was an event thoroughly enjoyed.
In summation, thanks go to all the classmates who attended. We appreciate your coming. Thanks also to all the committee members who worked many hours to make this reunion the success that it was. Finally, to those of you who didn't come: We missed you and hope to see you along with the rest of us in 2011 when (most of) the EHS Class of '59 turns 70. Never before and never again!
-- Mary Knoll Carlson, co-chair
