PHS class has 50th reunion years ago
Peabody High School class of 1957 held a three-day class reunion Memorial Day weekend.
The group began their reunion with a Saturday noon buffet at Maurice and Nancy Meirowsky's home. Later in the afternoon some visited the Peabody Museum Complex.
All class members gathered Saturday evening at the annual PHS alumni "Porch Party" at 504 N. Walnut, hosted this year by the Thach sisters (Pat, Juanita, and Judy.) Members of various classes of the 1950s and 1960s enjoyed reminiscing with one another.
Sunday the reunion group met at Peabody-Burns Elementary School to share pictures and news articles as well as slides of their graduation, senior trip, and school days. A barbecue buffet was enjoyed by class members and guests.
They attended the Memorial Day services Monday at Prairie Lawn Cemetery, sat together at the Memorial Day dinner in the Brown gymnasium, and toured the new junior high-high school facility.
The weekend ended with a farewell buffet at the home of James and Carmen South.
