Mount Ayr Class of 1949

The Mount Ayr high school class of 1949 held the celebration of the 64th anniversary of their graduation Friday evening, May 24, 2013, at the Mount Ayr Restoration Branch Church. The group enjoyed visiting, picture taking and the meal prepared and served by Sue BECK and Kathy MYERS.

The group was especially pleased to welcome Don DAUGHTON and wife Sally of Arizona who had only attended one other reunion. Also welcomed as special guests were Lyndon SHELDON and wife Edie of Colorado. He had started to school with this class and later moved to Des Moines.

Other classmates attending were Dean GRINDSTAFF and wife Anne of Lansing, KS, Ed BRYAN and wife Phyllis of Des Moines, Walter PRITCHARD and wife Nola of Clarinda, Shirley BOOTHE and husband Harold SANDAGE of Ottumwa, Jim MAHAN of Leon, Harold COOPER and wife Phyllis of Kellerton, Elbert IRVING of Afton, Margaret TURNER and husband Laurance BISHOP (both members of the class), Daryl HOLDEN, Norma REES CREVELING and Iona BAKER TRIGGS, all of Mount Ayr.

There have been two deaths since last year's reunion -- that of Verle SALTZMAN and Belle SICKELS GUTHLAND.
