WELCOME to the B-A Class of ‘62

Class Motto: Better Always Higher Still

Graduating Class

May 31, 1962, Ninety-six classmates from the Class of ’62 graduated. Our vision of the future was shaped by plans for the following year. With thoughts of higher education, the armed forces and impending engagements, who could think any further ahead? The freedoms on the other side of the school walls consumed our days and filled our dreams.
When we started our new journey after graduation we were called "the graduates of the Class of ’62". We have all suffered from disappointments, illnesses, and loss of loved ones. We have also shared the joys of friendships, job promotions, raising families, and enjoying grandchildren.
We all remember how September 11, 2001, changed many of our lives. Our sense of security had been shattered, but as Americans we pulled together and stood tall and supported our great nation and moved forward.
Now we have acquired a new title, “Senior Citizens.” As age steals away the years, we are faced with making the decision to retire or continue to work. Regardless what we choose, the Bellwood-Antis Class of ’62, are survivors.
As we continue our journey through the “Golden Years,” we will enjoy each new day as it was our last. We will cherish every moment spent with family and friends and enjoy the journey as long as it last.

“Better Always Higher Still”

Classmates’ Monthly Get-Togethers

The reunion committee thought it would be nice to get together monthly at a local restaurant on the second Monday of every month. In October of 2007, we started meeting at Hoss’s Steak House. After eating, we start the evening by welcoming classmates attending for the first time. Announce birthdays for the month, news of classmates they want to share. Then Jenny, our class comedian tells jokes by roasting a few classmates each month. She calls it wrinkle therapy and by laughing keeps your wrinkles away.
Our get-togethers have been very successful with 21 attending our first get together and we now have an average of 35 each month. A total of 37 met at Ponderosa last April. The food was great but the party room was not big enough. Also, we tried the Chinese Gourmet Buffetwith 34 attending. The highest number attending was 41. Hoss’s has a big party room that accommodates us very well. If you have never been to one of our get togethers, check us out
and enjoy the fun.
