Class of 1955

The Mount Ayr High School class of 1955 held their 60th reunion May 22, 2015, at the Southwest Iowa REC building, with nineteen class members registering. An enjoyable evening was spent visiting, remembering past experiences and taking pictures. A delicious meal was prepared and served by Jan Ford.

Those present were: Miriam Campbell Clutter, Bob and Kay Daughton Sickels, Pat Rusk Braby, Howard Martin, Helen Sickels Hunt, and Phil and Pattie Foltz, from Mount Ayr; Renabell Elmore Adams from Knoxville; Marcia Dalbey Shurtleff from Dallas, Texas; Mel and Verlee Morgan Galbraith from Arnolds Park; Mildred Drake Johnston from Urbandale; Joyce Wiley from Waukee; Ron and Loretta Matheny Kelly from Afton; Harry and Ann Irving Bevington from Des Moines; Mary and Jack Fetty from Clive; Lowell and Joy Austin from Merriam Woods, MO; and Gary King from Cedar Rapids. The group was honored to have a former teacher, Grace Moser, as a guest.

We mourned the loss of three classmates since we last met - Shirley Sickels Karr, Jo Rees Louden, and Larry Miller. A special table was set aside in honor of the deceased classmates who were remembered with a memory candle.

Tentative plans were made to meet again in two years on Memorial weekend at the same location.
