The Friday Mixer was the beginning of our weekend party.  Everyone gathered at 3:00 to visit with their school mates and companions, neighbors and friends, enjoying some of the best hors d'oeuvres and finger sandwiches ever, until 8:30. Everyone enjoyed the picture booth creating memories with old friends.

     After the Mixer parties continued at the Embassy Suites Bar area and in some of the suites. It was indeed a ‘party weekend’!

    Alumni staying at the Embassy Suites met the next morning for a breakfast before doing some sightseeing and/or visiting with friends before the Saturday Dinner/Dance.

    “WOW” was the most common remark made for our third multi class Reunion Dinner/Dance. When we entered the banquet room at six o’clock, we easily found our classmates at our assigned table. Our friends were located all in the same area with other years close to ours. We could easily hobnob with those upper classmen.

     The tables had been decorated by the hotel staff in our Wellston High School colors--red  and black napkins. This time class years were added to the tables so everyone know which class was seated at every table.
     
     Since our reunions are ‘black tie optional’, ladies were beautifully dressed in evening attire while many men wore tuxedos. The men were handsome, the women were beautiful. We all were happy to be reunited with old friends.
   
    Rev. Tom Noon '62 gave an blessing before our bountiful plates of food were served by a friendly, willing and gracious staff.  Food was plentiful, delicious, cooked to perfection and best of all, HOT.  Both red and white wine was was served with the meal and coffee or soda was available all evening.

    Music was supplied by a DJ who did a great job of playing music for all the different eras. Many alumni enjoyed dancing the old steps again.

    Remarkably, everything ran very smoothly from picking up welcoming bags to having class pictures taken, although the committee sadly admits to and apologizes for having lost one name tag out of the over some 200 created. Goodie bags were gratefully received and explored.

    Emcee Wanda (Cornman) Hydar ’60, kept the program interesting and moving. Ruth Johnson Vogel ’36 was presented with two dozen roses as being the oldest class represented. Who could believe that that beautiful woman represented the Class of ‘36!
    
     Roger Noon '62 gave a music presentation celebrating many class mile stones, '47, '52,
'57, '62, and '67

    When the WHS anthem was sung, many found tears running down their faces at the verse which begins, “and when the years have vanished”
