Music will be provided by the multi-talented and infinitely entertaining Galloway Brothers who will perform from 9:00 p.m. to 1:00 a.m. (will we see a return of the Soggy Bottom Boys?)

More than half of the students from the S-T HS class of 1955 attended their 50th class reunion. Of course, there were only 11 students in the graduating class that year.

After leaving the Best Western, the class adjourned to a local Dairy Queen for lunch and more reminiscing.

S-T Class of 83 Reunion

Kevin Allen writes to report that the Skidmore-Tynan High School Class of 1983 will reunite on the weekend of October 22-23, 2004. Why class members chose the 21st anniversary of their graduation as opposed to the more conventional 20-year time span is anybody's guess! The Signal suspects it has something to do with their collective rebellious nature. Details of the gathering are as follows:

Meet and Greet
When: Friday, October 22, 2004
Where: Skidmore-Tynan Football Field
Time: 7:30 p.m.

Family Fun Day
When: Saturday, October 23, 2004
Where: Lake House of Traci and Michael Younts
Time: 1:00 p.m. – 7:00 p.m.

Activities will include volleyball, basketball, horseshoes, washers and some water activities. The menu will be Brisket with all the trimmings and hamburgers/hot dogs for the younger crowd. Estimated cost per family is $20.00. Absolutely no alcohol will be allowed. Contact Kevin Allen for directions to Saturday's festivities and updated or late breaking information.
