To the Editor:

The Northern Bedford High School Class of 1968 will celebrate 55 years since graduation by renewing old acquaintances at a reunion on Saturday, Sept. 23, 2023. The location will be the banquet facility of Homewood at Spring House Estates, 150 Victoria Ave., Everett, near the UPMC Bedford Memorial Hospital.

Socializing will begin when the doors open at 3 p.m. with a buffet dinner served at 5. Prior to dinner, we will get a class photo and a brief class meeting. There will be ample time to visit and exchange stories both before and after the meal before we wrap up at 8.

The Class of 1968 was the first class at Northern Bedford to complete grades seven through twelve in the “new” junior/senior high school building — the current high school building located near Loysburg. During the last few weeks of their seventh-grade year in 1962, the students moved all their school items into the new building and finished the school year there.

The senior class officers were John Baker, president; Patrick Crawford, vice-president; and Judy Williams Fogal, secretary. The class members chose azure blue and white for the class colors and their class flower is the white rose. The class motto is, “The past forever gone, the future still our own.”

We encourage as many classmates as possible to attend. A letter with reunion details and registration was mailed in late April. The registration should be returned with your payment by Sept. 8. If you’ve misplaced or did not receive the mailing, you may contact classmate Tom Little via e-mail at: t.little72@yahoo.com for another copy. If you absolutely cannot attend, donations to the class fund are always appreciated.

The 55th Reunion of the NB Class of ‘68 will provide a few hours of camaraderie and reminiscence that classmates won’t want to miss!
