50-Year Reunion (This is the BIG one)
August 5-7, 2011


It is hard to believe that nearly 50 years have passed since our senior year at Central High School, Graduation Night and Party on the Tonka Belle. Now it’s time to celebrate and reminisce with classmates and “old” friends who understand both the past and the journey we've all traveled these past 50 years. So, make your plans, get registered, make your hotel reservations and get ready to have a REUNION. Talk to classmates, find those who are missing. Check the Missing Classmates Page. Lets see how many classmates we can get to this, our 50th Reunion.
