There were people from classes beginning with 1934 - the oldest graduate in attendance, Alice (Crabtree) Gregory, to the class of 1999 and many classes in between.
Alice was accompanied to her 75th alumni reunion by her sister, Floy (Crabtree) Fisher and congratulated by people she had taught in first grade, like Elton Keller, people she had known all their lives like Jane Mills Oliver who was born the summer Alice helped Gladys with the harvest crew and hired men. (Also the summer Alice met her future husband, Richard Gregory). Her nephew Fred Stasser stayed by her side and took her to her place at the banquet table. She was greeted by her cousins Betty Crabtree, Jerry Crabtree, Audrey Crabtree and his wife Mary, nephew Merle Stasser and the daughter of Leslie White, a long time neighbor in the community where she spent most of her life. There were many others who were amazed at her "young" attitude and ability to be so spry and alert at the age of 95.
