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”

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Christmas Party on December 14. Classmates and spouses enjoyed a fun filled evening as we celebrated Christmas at Hoss's. Dennie Beecher and his wife Barbara surprised us by joining the group for the evening. After dinner, Jenny read a Thank you letter we received from The Bellwood-Antis Council of Churches for our canned good donations to the Food Share Program in our community, serving 89 families with a food basket for Thanksgiving. Also, a Thank you from the Christmas Carol Foundation for the donates of $565 from the class. The Classmates from the Class of '62 are the best. Thank you for always supporting your class with all of our projects we engage in.
We celebrated Kathy Madara and John Cook's birthdays by singing "Happy Birthday". On a sadder note it was mentioned, Jay Nedimyer a former classmate of ours passed away.
As the evening continued, twelve volunteers entertained the group with imitating the characters of the "Twelve Days of Christmas" while the rest sang the song. That was the highlight of the evening. After that, we played Christmas Trivia and then we played Christmas Gift Grab exchange. It was a great party bringing a close to the year of 2009.
A "HAPPY NEW YEAR" to you all. We will not get together until February 8, 2010. Make getting together with your classmates a New Years Resolution and join in on the fun.
