Boonville High School Class of 57. I believe there was a song about The Class of 57. Very appropriate. On Saturday May 12, the 55 year class reunion was held at the Methodist Church fellowship hall in Boonville. A very nice place. There was 40 people in attendance. Out of 46 who graduated only 6 class mates have departed to be with Jesus. It seemed that everyone enjoyed the visit with each other. We voted to continue to have one every 5 years where we can mingle around and visit more. We also voted to continue to meet at the Cracker-Barrel on the first Saturday in April at nine-o-clock each year. Keep your eye on your compass and don’t look back. At our age looking back is a big hurt to the neck.
