Class of 1960 enjoyed their 50th Reunion last weekend
By John T. Ryan
If you know any of the people in the accompanying photos (Click here) (photos are largest in Slideshow format) you’ll find it hard to believe that they graduated from Peru High School fifty years ago. The Class of 1960 held its 50th Reunion this past weekend. They gathered at the North Country Club for pizza on Friday night. On Saturday night they enjoyed dinner and reminisces at the Keeseville Elks Club. The class had 60 graduates. Forty-four classmates, spouses and guests attended Saturday’s dinner. One the most memorable aspects of the weekend was the class’s donation of $1,300 to the Leo Bourgois Scholarship Fund. Bourgois was their class advisor and the class dedicated their yearbook to him. Mr. “B” as he was affectionately known passed away on December 28, 2009.
The class was also honored by the presence of teachers Betty Hughes, John and Shirley Longware, Lucille Pascal and her husband Larry, Clare Rooney who was celebrating her 97th birthday and Mike Zerrahn.

The pictures and the entire website were absolutely wonderful and fun to look at. Since I’m on the planning committee for the Class of ’64 reunions, I find it so comforting to be able to look back at a whole different time than it is today and just reminesce and be able to go back in time. Great job Barbara and your team!!!!

My sincere thanks to all of you who donated so generously to my Dad’s scholarship fund…he was so proud of all of all of you and I just know he was smiling as you all reminisced about him as your class advisor and teacher as well as friend… He will bless you from up above as he lives on with so many from his circle …
sincerely,
Karen B.
