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 MEET IN MAY

Monday evening May 11, Johnny Moffa and wife Bonnie came up from Delaware to join the group at Hoss's. That was a surprise to us all. John (Kenny) Wagner and wife Carol joined us for the first time this year. It is great to get together and reminisce about our school days and how times have changed. A total of 38 had a great time with our Wrinkle Therapy session as we laughed at the jokes that were told. We sang Happy Birthday to Connie Edmiston Isenberg while the waitress presented her with a small birthday cake.
Our high school English teacher Mr. Howard Walker, age 84 passed away May 14, after having some heart problems recently. The class of '62 thought a lot of Mr. Walker that we dedicated our year book to him. Ruth Miller and Jenny Showalter representing the Class of '62 attended the Memorial Service held for him.
The class group will not be meeting in June for dinner at Hoss's. We will be boarding a Bollman Tour bus traveling to Alexandria, VA to board a dinner cruise ship and cruise down the Potomac River to take in the historial sights of Washington, DC.
