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”

CHRISTMAS PARTY AT HOSS'S

DECEMBER 13, 2010 CLASSMATE'S CELEBRATE THE CHRISTMAS.
After the dinner, Jenny shared with the group several Thank You notes she received. One was from the BELLWOOD-ANTIS FOOD SHARE for the 8 large boxes of canned goods that classmates donated to be given to those less fortunate in our community. Also, we received a Thank You from CHRISTMAS CAROL. Once again the Classmates of '62 were very gracious to give $575 to the Christmas Carol Foundation making Christmas a little brighter for a special family from Bellwood. Thank You! My fellow classmates for being such a wonderful caring group of individuals.
After several Christmas jokes, the group divided into two team and we played several games.
The first game was "CHRISTMAS KISSES". No we didn't go around kissing. Each team member put on a pair of gloves and unwrapped a chocolate kiss in a relay. Things we take for granted are sometimes very difficult to do. The winners received bags of snowman poop. Then each group selected a captain for the next game, "REINDEER ANTLERS". Jerry Miller & Denny Beecher cheered their team on as each team member blew balloons to be stuffed into a pair of panty hose legs. As soon as the captain 's panty hose was filled he put it on his head and crochet red nose. The winners received bags of reindeer poop. We also played "GIFT EXCHANGE" Everyone brought a wrapped $5 gift. Everyone was given a number and as the number was called each person took a gift from the table. The second time their number was called the could exchange presents with someone else. After everyone has the opportunity to exchange. Then we opened the presents. We also answered Trivia questions about CHRISTMAS songs. A great time was had by all.
