The classes of 1948-1949-1950 of Burns High School gathered May 28 in Burns at Arletta's Catering. There were 36 in attendance.
LaVonne Ammeter called the meeting to order and each guest introduced themselves. There were seven alumni from '48, eight from '49, and four from '50. Marjorie Gfeller asked the blessing and a meal was served cafeteria-style. Much visiting and picture taking filled the evening.
It was decided to have another reunion in 2007, on Memorial Day weekend.
