Fiftieth Year Reunion--'59

Collinsville High School Commons Area--June 12, 2009

Twenty-four class mates and spouces gathered to celebrate the 50th anniversary of their graduation. Those attending were treated in royal style in several ways. First was the beautifully decoreated room which was cone by their numerous volunteers led by Darlene Dunn, Evelyn Fifer, and Delcy Dunham.

Each attendee was given a bound book of collected bios and information of each classmate. John Combs ('58) presented a great power point program of the class. The program included good music from Don Vickers and Susye Broom (from Kentucky). After a catered dinner by Delightful Bites Don and Susye entertained and played music to dance by.

A guest appearance by Second Hand Rose

(aka) Hugh Bryant added some great humor to the program. Hugh's interpretation of the old Barbara Streisand recording of 2nd Hand Rose was a lot of fun to watch and listen to.

Good show, Hugh,----as they say in the business.

A fun evening was had by all who attended. When the fun ended around 1:00 a.m. it was time to tear down and get ready for the Nifty Fifties reunion the next night.

It didn't take long as everyone pitched in to help.

Barbara would have been proud Hugh!!!!

Decked out in "her" second hand hair, second hand clothes, and second hand "poils", Hugh did a great job.

Stop and think about it---isn't it amazing how things you learn to do as youngsters stays with you as you grow older. Many, many of the photos used in the web site are compliments of Ted Wright: www.cvilleok.com especially the Class of '59 and NF main reunion.
