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 & FRIENDS ENJOY AN EXCURSION

September 29th, 5:30 AM, a group of classmates and friends boarded a Fullington Tour Bus at the Bellwood Fire Hall parking lot for a full day of activites. Our first stop was at McDonald's for breakfast in Lamar, PA. Then we were off to Wayne County located in Northeast Pennsylvania. We arrived in Honesdale, PA at 10:30 Am, birthplace of the American railroad. At the train station we were greeted by a host serving coffee and apple streusel cake before boarding the train for a Fall Foliage Train Ride along the Lackawaxen River on the Stourbridge Lion Train.
The train stopped in Hawley, PA and we got back on the bus . We continued our journey to the Ehrhardt's Waterfront Resort where we had reservatioons for dinner and a live comedy show by Joey Vincent. As a send off before leaving the premises, wewere given a hand dipped ice cream cone, flavor of our choice.
On the way home we stopped in Bloomsburg, PA at Wendy's in the Buckhorn Plaza for a bite to eat and restroom break. As we travel in the bus we were entertained with two movies ("SOMETHING GOTTA GIVE" starring Jack Nicholson and Diane Keaton) and ("OPEN RANGE" starring Robert Duvall, Kevin Costner, & Annette Bening). As usual, Jenny told jokes and gave out prizes.
It was a beautiful day for our bus trip. The bus was comfortable, food was good and the comedy show was great. We were disappointed that the trees weren't more colorful but the sky was blue and weather couldn't have been better. It was a very enjoyable excursion with a fun group of people to spend the day with.
