Buds & Hugs Galore!

The entire weekend was filled with love, emotion, and lots of hugs as is evident from the following photo gallery of hugs and buddies. Above, Barbara Boeckmann, Phyllis Yost Webber, Elly Kaufman Miller, Mical Koocher. Without question, the winner of the hugging contest was Tom Kane. He was everywhere, just like the Eveready Bunny! And to think, Tom was such a shy and inhibited young man back in his high school days ;-)

Dancing The Night Away!

At our Saturday night Banquet, everyone danced to the sounds of the 50s as played by our special DJ (who earlier that day escorted us on a tour of the school). We even did the Stroll!

We not only had dancers, we had our own Chorus Line with the likes of Terry, Mical, Pat Nelson, Pat Canero, Carol Kaplan Smith, and Margot. Solely in the best interests of photographic journalism, I couldn't resist taking the middle shot from the floor and the last one from the derriere ;-)

Here's some more photos from the dancefloor. Jay Corsetti and Tom Kane won the best couple award, with Augie and Angela a very close second place!

Let's Start With Golf

The OHS Class of 1959's 50th Reunion got off to a great start with a Scramble Golf Tournament organized by Tom Kane and Augie DiSisto. There were 13 participants in the outing, plus one non-golfer cheerleader Val Moos who gave the initial cheer and then bowed out when the rain came!

Tom Kane, John Massey, Gary Kirkman,Val, Doc, Rich Parthemore, Kathy Sisley Smith, Bob Pidgeon, Norm Starler. Missing from this photo: Mike Doorley, Augie, Jay Corsetti (and brother), Michael Smith, Dave Neville

Note the classic swings of Mike Doorley and Tom Lynam below.
