Bill McDonald was at today's open house at the Italian Workmen's Club of Madison on Regent Street. The event celebrated the history of the club and the Greenbush neighborhood. Bill reminded me that his class -- the Madison Central High School Class of 1950 -- has a reunion at the VFW on Lakeside Street every year on the third Saturday in July. That means this year's reunion (the 56th) will be July 15, 2006. I don't have other details, such as time, but I'll be update this notice when I receive additional information.

ODE TO 50TH REUNION -CLASS OF 1950
Our 50th class reunion was a grand affair, thanks to the committee.
Almost all our classmates were there from the best school in the city!
The guys still as handsome as handsome could be..
"Girls" looking the same as in 1950.
Friday night was our special time To get reacquainted over munchies and wine.
Though we were laid back and mellow it's true,
We managed to sing a song or two.
Saturday night was our dinner dance
All together again, here was a chance
To spend a few precious hours(how fast they flew by)
With our dear friends from Central High.
We hugged, we talked, we danced (not much.)
We reached for an old friend's hand to touch.
We laughed, we joked, we reminisced in style...
Young and carefree again for a while.
Don Noel spoke, praising our school..
Said we had diversity before it was cool.
For we welcomed all without any fuss
Their Race/Religion unimportant to us.
Sunday's brunch was our last event..
Our Joyful reunion was nearly spent.
Ron Imhoff took pictures about the room
And we tried to forget we'd be parting soon.
Some of us went once more to the arch
Where we used to wait for school to start.
We revisited downtown Madison
For that was our turf, where we had so much fun.
Then time ran out as it always does..
None left to remember the way it was.
It was time to go... we said our good-bys
And it hurt us so...brought tears to our eyes.
We'll keep in touch with our high school friends..
Though we are parted..it's not the end.
The e-mail, letters and cards we'll write
And telephone calls will keep memories tight.
Some grads like me stayed right here in Mad City.
If we don't meet now and then
Twill be such a pity.
For we have been blessed to belong to a class
That's as wonderful now as it was in the past.
