To all whose names and photos you see on this webpage
their loyalty – dedication – and service to Central High
is greatly appreciated by members and faculty alike.
It’s possible there are others who should be recognized
and thanked, … that regretfully we are unaware of.
Going on twenty years … since our 50th reunion in 2003. – We held an
annual luncheon every year (15 of them) but after the May 4th 2018 Reunion
(concluding the 1953 – 65th year since graduation) … we have discontinued
our “Annual Events” for ALL Members. … (At least for the time being)
We are now encouraging informal small groups of 6 – 8,
or whatever – to gather when they feel like it, for breakfast, lunch,
or even a greater festivity. Your combined class secretary plans to continue
with record-keeping, and of course maintaining the class WEBSITE
that we have had on line since 2010. Thanks to all who have helped
to build reunion events, and to the many who have attended them.

2020 is here and we are in our TENTH YEAR
with this CHS Website for the combined class of
1952 & 1953
After a decade of meeting the needs of our members
Mr. Hecker has plans to begin a reduction in size f0r the website
… slowly at first, – but by removing some of the items
the staff felt were NOT of the interest they might have been.
Certain Date Items and the Musician’s Birthdays may be among the first to go.
The Jokes … people seem to like, … Bottom-Of-The-Barrel … as they are. . . . . . and they will stay:
