The McClain High School class of 1959 celebrated their 65th reunion Saturday, June 15 at the Greenfield Senior Citizens Center.
There were 30 classmates and 11 guests in attendance. Attendees traveled from Pennsylvania, Alabama, Georgia, Wyoming, Michigan and North Carolina, as well as nearby locations.
The room was decorated with purple and gold streamers along with vases of flowers provided by Ivy and Twigs. Ian Trefz and staff catered the meal, enjoyed by all.
Participants were entertained by John Simmons, classmate, and his wife, Janet Burgess Simmons, as they jitterbugged to 1950s music.
