II instigated the effort to start a Class of '56 Scholarship Fund, and have
been working recently to accomplish that. BHS Registrar's Office and Finance Dept.
are handling our contributions, and I am working with DATA (Desert Area Teachers
Association) for that organization to accept and evaluate scholarship applicants,
and to select the successful applicant - at least for this year. Our
first scholarship of $1,000.00 will be awarded in June. To date we have over
$2,100.00 in our fund and are still seeking contributions. |
Robbie Carr's report on the Scholarship Fund |
As an adjunct to our getting back together each member of the Class of ’56 stood
up, identified themselves, their significant others/guests and made a brief statement
as they desired. Everyone was asked to hold their comments down to
30 seconds so that we didn’t starve to death during this phase of the reunion.
After this we will go to dinner!!! |
. . . . . now it's off to dinner and some high class socializing!!! |
The Greaser stands up and takes a turn. Based on the expressions of everyones
face in the photo below he must have said something that was funny. Typical

Jack Joyce tells us about his Dude Ranch in Oregon. Jack is still that plain
spoken, non-PC person we came to know and love in High School. |
Everyone seemed to enjoy this segment of our Reunion because they were both curious
and wanted to take part. |
Lightly haired and silver clad heads sure make great light reflectors don't they??? |
