Members of the 1955 graduating class of the Mount Ayr high school met on Friday, May 29, 2010, at the REC meeting room to celebrate their 55th class reunion. Twenty-two former classmates plus several spouses, gathered for an evening of visiting, eating and catching up.

The evening meal was catered by Jan FORD. During a brief business meeting letters were read from former classmates who were unable to attend: Marilyn CALDWELL KIMBLE, Loretta MATHANY KELLY and John HOOD. There was also mention made of recent conversations with Phyllis GUNTER EVANS, Marvin POWELL, Dean RAUCH, Marvin RICE and Bob WALTER.

Of the 63 in the senior class of 1955, 14 have passed away. They were remembered with their pictures on a picture board on the memory table, along with former classmates who moved away during their high school years.
