(Sound up)     20-11 55TH REUNION INFO             

Hey, here we are folks... Here are some of the Pics from The Class of '56 Reunion 55  These first Pics ware taken from Coach Bobby Hart's camera.  I hope many more photos will be rolling in.  These were photos that were scanned in.  Naturally, its much faster (and far easier for me) to receive them in digital form.  I believe the captions on the photos should be legible.

The next are from Cozette.  Hovering over the pic brings up the name.  I've identified all I can, If the names are not there, I apologize for my lousy memory, but many of you know it goes with the territory.  Let me know and I'll fix it.  

...a few group shots

...When I get more,  I'll post 'em, so keep 'em coming.

Here are some comments from some of those who attended. And as always, at our age, we welcomed those from the classes before us and after. 

From Linda Arnold 
Hi, All
The reunion was a huge success, thanks to the hard work of the reunion committee 
As usual, it was fun to reconnect with old friends – some I had not seen since the night of graduation. Good thing we had our name tags! Ha!
We missed Patti Bullington and Calvin. Both were in the hospital so if you hear anything you might want to pass it along. Also, we had a message from Katie Kauffman. Her husband, John, is quite ill and she has requested classmate communication by e-mail or regular mail at:
4038 5th Ave. North
Great Falls, Mt. 59405
Email: kjk06@bresnan.net

We had a nice visit with Dottie and told her how much we appreciate the work she had done for us old Panthers. I’m afraid, I don’t know if she will continue to work with the committee or not. She has a pretty heavy schedule. We sincerely hope we can look forward to another reunion before we are all history. 
Don is doing well and his cancer is in remission still. We truly appreciate each day we are given and try make the most of them.
We hope you are all well and look forward to hearing from you each and every one.
Best regards,
Linda Arnold

Notes from Dick Seeberger:
Some quick notes....
Ronnie Anderson was there, Delbert, Tom H, Lee W, Bob Stephens, even Zack & Harry showed up. Lots of others, guests included the Hart brothers, Bobby and Larry. As usual Dorothy Early Oneill-Soto did her great job of coordinating things. LJ Stogner and others along with Don & Linda Arnold made it, 
It was announced that this 55th may be the last one; people tired of working on it and the age factor for attending. That was the 7th one I've been to. Some of the 57 class were there, Clara, and some didn't show because of health or other issues. Perry was there as usual to give the blessing.
Patti Bullington’s cheery smile was missed by all, along with Diane Vance Redhair, Class of '57, who many of us know and had attended a number of reunions in the past.
Took Tom Bullington out for lunch where we went when you were there, to Mimi's Restaurant. 
Thanks for all the communicating you did for this event, and the website work. You were missed. Masunas and his wife Betty were there, and a lot of others.
This was probably our last drivethru to the Southwest, although a few air trips might be forthcoming. Que sera.
Fight on for our fame... Dick

John Masunas
Hi Ted Betty and I had a very good time at the reunion. It was a shame you couldn't make it. I thought it was the best reunion that I had attended. It seemed as though the friendship meant a lot more this time, than in the past. God luck to all and may the Good Lord keep us well enough to maybe see one another again. John and Betty Masunas

From Bob Baker:   Where are the pictures?

From Carol Kelso Lewis:  Sorry you were not at the reunion.  You did miss a good one - as everyone says the best we've had.  Loved seeing Mildred Johnson and Cozette as I had not seen them maybe since high school.  Sure hope we have another one but understand Dorothy and committee getting tired of always doing it.  Hope we have another one and that you will be there.  Sincerely, Carol 

Those who had signed up to attend that we'd all like to hear from include:

Again, if you've got pics, send 'em along to tedm@amphi56.com

If you have your sound up and singing along,  Our Amphi Fight song is taken from the University of Wisconsin Badgers "On Wisconsin". The music is public domain...so in case you don't remember all the words, here they are:  

"On you Panthers, on you Panthers. 
Fight on for our fame. 
Run the ball right past the Badgers, (or whoever we were playing), 
Touchdown sure this time. 
On you Panthers, on you Panthers. 
Fight on for our fame. 
Fight, fellows, fight, fight, fight,
...we'll win this game."

And the Alma Mater;  (at least according to someone who should know...not me)

"To your call once more we rally, 
Amphitheater hear our praise. 
Where the Catalinas raise their head, 
with joy our voices sing. 
From the skies in swelling echoes,
come the cheers that tell the tales
...of your victories and your heros, 
Amphitheater High all hail. (Chorus): 
Hail Amphitheater High, 
all hail to the green and white. 
Hail Amphitheater High, your friendship may she never lack (?). 
Ever grateful, ever true, thus we raise our song anew...
....of the days we spent with you
....our Amphitheater High."
