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 CRUISE down the POTOMAC RIVER

"CRUISING DOWN THE RIVER" Friday morning, June 12, we boarded a Bollman Tour Bus at the Bellwood-Antis High School parking lot at 7:45 AM traveling to Alexandria, VA. We watched the movie "Marlie and Me" on the bus. Arriving in Alexandria, VA we then boarded Nina Dandy Cruise Ship and cruised down the Potomac River taking in the historical sights along the way. After a delicious three course luncheon on the ship, we went to the upper deck to relax and enjoy the 3 hour cruise. What a beautiful day! The sky was bright blue and painted with big, white, fluffy clouds. The weather couldn't have been any nicer for cruising. After the cruise the bus driver dropped us off at Market Square in the middle of Old Town Alexandria for an hour for sight seeing and shopping. Several of the group just relaxed in the shade at Market Square while others walked the streets browsing in little shops for souvenirs. The bus picked us up around 4:30 PM and we headed towards home. Jenny entertained the group with story telling jokes. We stopped in Fredrick, MD at the Golden Corral for a buffet dinner. The waitress sang
"HAPPY BIRTHDAY" to Darlene Thomas Detwiler, Jack Oswald, and Tom Del Mastro.
What a wonderful time had by all.
