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”

MARCH, A PARADE OF CLASSMATES CAME TOGETHER!


As we gathered together for the evening and ate dinner, we celebrated the birthday's of Kathie Cross McConnell and Beverly McGinnis Hollabaugh with individual birthday cakes for them to take home. Compliments of Hoss's.
Jenny told a few jokes and them described how our mind works as we age and how we look at things differently throughtout the aging periods of life. The example she used was about a man working on a project and before he could finish, he must make a trip to the store for something to complete the project he was doing. Ages of the man were divided into 10 year periods, describing our appearences before leaving the house and how our priorities change. We all change as we age.
When we first fell in love, we couldn't keep our hands off each other. We were always hugging, kissing and holding hands. As we age, TODAY, we sometimes neglect to do so. That is what gave Jenny the idea for the entertainment for the evening. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU AND YOUR SPOUSE HELD HANDS?
If you were blindfolded, could you identify your spouse's hands out of a group of others? The women sat in a circle in the center of the room. A man was blindfolded and lead around the group of women feeling hands until he choose the ones he thought was his spouse. After the men took their turn, we gave the women the same challenge. Did I forget to tell you? After the person was blindfolded those sitting in the seats would change places. It was more difficult than you would think. Sorry to say only one man identified his wife's hand by feel. That was John McConnell. Three women identified their husbands. Sue Brubaker choose Kenny's,Alice Oswald choose Jack's, and Pat Helsley choose John's. We all had a great time.
LET US ALL SPEND MORE TME HOLDING OUR SPOUSES HAND.
