Mount Ayr Class of 1949

The Mount Ayr high school class of 1949 held the celebration of the 65th anniversary of their graduation Friday evening, May 23, at the Mount Ayr Restoration Branch Church. The group enjoyed visiting, picture taking and the meal prepared and served by Sue Beck and Kathy White.

Classmates were especially pleased to welcome Margaret Danielson Wilson of Mount Ayr who had been a member of the class until high school and then moved to Redding and graduated.

Others from Mount Ayr attending were Lloyd Glendenning, Norma Rees Creveling, Iona Baker Triggs, Harold Cooper and wife Phyllis and Margaret Turner and husband Laurence Bishop (both members of the class). Those from out of town attending were Ed Byran and wife Phyllis of Des Moines, Walter Pritchard and wife Nola of Clarinda, Shirely Boothe and husband Harold Sandage of Ottumwa, and Elbert Irving of Afton.

The class recently learned of the death of Vincel Ferre Casady in 2011. The only death since last year's reunion was Beth Richardson Toland on June 26, 2013.

Next year's reunion will be held at the same place on May 15, 2015.
