Reunion Planning has officially begun!!!!!




The planning committee for the CHS Class of 1969 40th Reunion met last night at the Country Club in Caruthersville...we had 7 members attending ... all fired up and ready to go. A lot of discussion on the reunion ...it is already sounding like a terrific weekend. We hope to have others join with us at the next meeting which is June 17th....at the Country Club...6:00. We will have more reminders closer to the date.
Information sheets for the reunion will be going out within the next couple of weeks. Please complete the form and mail it back in the envelope that will come with it.
A sad note...we learned that another classmate has passed away... Beverly Berry Andrews...she passed away within the last few months. She lived in Arkansas and left behind her husband, daughter, and two grandchildren. Please keep her family in your prayers.
If you have any news to pass along to the class...please let us know.
I have added a couple of photos...I bet you can just about taste the Supercheeseburger!!!!

Where oh where are the CHS Class of '69

Hey classmates...anybody out there? I know that this isn't as interesting as the forums that are on line...LOL but I really need some input....email addresses, mailing addresses...updates...

For those of you that remember Becki Stanfield...she attended CHS for a couple of years and came from Cottonwood Point...she has been an administrator in Mississippi...she emailed me and told me that she retired last year and she is busy having fun four wheeling.

And Tana spoke with Ida Jean Atkins....and she is planning on making the reunion next year. She sent a photo of her husband and herself...she looks the same.

And Willie Baird moved last year from Houston to Rogers, AR...we know he will be at the reunion...let us know what else has been happening!!

Planning meeting

Hey Classmates...our first planning meeting will be April 29, 2008 at 5:30 pm at the Caruthersville Country Club. Bring yourself and ideas...please let Terrie or Charlie know if you will make the meeting.

Missing some fun teachers

I was reading a few tales on the internet and was reminded of a few of our teachers...I am quite sure that Caruthersville is the only place in the world that could have had such fun and different teachers.

The first one that comes to mind is Mr. Redman Dunham. Can you imagine calling every student past and present and wishing them a "Happy Birthday". Do you think there would be a teacher today that would care that much about their students. And I loved Coach Arment...although I do remember having a chalkboard eraser thrown at me from his desk to mine in the back row. In 6th grade Ms. Hornyak taught the girls to knit during recess and lunch...we would sit on the front steps of Lee Rood Annex and she would help each one of us cast on (in my case several times) and knit square upon square...what a special feeling.

Do you have a special memory of a teacher? Please share...

Gem Theatre

I am so sad...I just saw on Classmates that they have demolished the old Gem Theatre...they didn't even take the sign off first...remember all of the movies we saw there...I remember seeing Support Your Local Sheriff...or something like that...and The Blob...I was scared for weeks...the balcony...the ornate lobby and the wonderful smell of fresh popcorn!!! Meeting with friends and taking up a whole row of seats...and maybe having a flashlight shined on us once or twice. And watching the older kids sitting in the back row smooching...life was good.
