May 31, 1961 - May 31, 2009

Do you remember what you were doing 48 years ago today? I do, now that it has been brought to my attention by another classmate. <smile>

On May 31, 1961, at 7:30pm we were to be on the Hudson Street side of the Hirsch Memorial Youth Center and form into two lines. At 8:00pm we were to march into the auditorium and remain standing until Mr. McKenzie sat down. Then we could be seated.

A total of 504 Fair Park 1961 classmates stood that night when our name was called and received our Fair Park diploma. We then moved the tassel from the right to the left side of our cap, and thus officially ended our “high school” days.

If anyone has any photos taken at our graduation send me a copy and I'll make a new photo album for the big event.
