55 Year Reunion
We had a "low-key" but delightful 55-year reunion June 16, 2012, at the home of Ed and Debbie Davis. They very graciously provided barbecued ribs, burgers and hot dogs. Approximately 30 class members and guests drove up the hill from "downtown Midpines" and enjoyed cool shade, a great view, and the company of old friends. |

Class of 1957 50 Year Reunion The reunion was absolutely fantastic! We started with an unplanned gathering of a few folks at the Pizza Factory Friday night. At the same time, most of the old gang from Yosemite was having their own informal dinner. On Saturday morning, we toured the halls of 'Posy High. We were interested to learn that graduations don't fit in the auditorium anymore; they're held at the Gold Bowl (fairgrounds arena). We had a good time looking at the photos of classes hanging in the hall. Since our time, the school has put up photos of every class. Of course, the recent classes have so many people, the photos are too small to see. A large part of our group made it to the annual Alumni Picnic at the fairgrounds, where we were able to reconnect with many people from other classes. The evening event was everything we hoped for and comments were 100% positive. We had located 56 classmates, and 46 of them attended, along with spouses or other guests, for a total of 75 people. We probably had 80 to 90 people who were part of our class during the four years, but only 37 actually made it to graduation (most graduated somewhere else). Of that 37, 27 of them were with us. Folks who stayed at the Best Western had a chance to enjoy the free continental breakfast together, and several of us had a very early breakfast at the Miner's Inn. The Reunion Committee had more fun than anyone, working on this project for almost two years, and we think we'll be up to doing another one in five years. We have photos and more information on a special 1957 Reunion page. An essay about our elementary schools that was included in One More Sluice in 2007 has been expanded and uploaded as a separate page with photos. |

Class of 1962 45 Year Reunion The class of '62 had a 45th Class Reunion in 2007. It was held at Doug & Diane (Phillips) Kanarowski's beautiful home and gardens. Everyone walked the gardens, talked of old times at Posy High and caught up on the present, with pictures of children, grandchildren and even great grandchildren. Dinner was delicious with tri tip, home made beans, potato salad, tossed salad, rolls and berry cobbler with ice cream. Sure can not beat home cooking! Sunday morning at 10 o'clock we all went to Sheila (Bell) Tarvin's for
brunch. Again we all had the pleasure of walking her garden. It is out of this world. She served a brunch we will never forget. Home made cinnamon
rolls that her nephew Robert made, egg casserole, fresh fruit, and waffles topped with
champagne. She outdid herself! |

MCHS Centennial Celebration The Mariposa County High School Centennial Celebration October 24 and 25 was a huge success. It started with the Junior Varsity football team hosting Gustine at the fairgrounds, with the Redskins taking a 21-0 win. There were several hundred Grizzly alumni representing classes from the 1940s to the 2000s. The event was filmed for broadcast on KFSN, Channel 30 in Fresno. The evening concluded with the varsity game, and it was an exciting contest. In the end a late 4th quarter fumble recovery gave the Grizzlies the win 22-19, maintaining their unbeaten status in league play. Outside the grandstand, MCHS Centennial T-shirts were available. Look for pictures of the shirt and other centennial photos on the Alumni Association photo gallery page. On Saturday the school opened its doors to the public from 9 to 3. A table in the hallway displayed most of the yearbooks in the school's history. Classrooms contained photos and memorabilia from the 1930s forward, divided into sections by decade. Out front, Cindy Fiester Photography took group photos of alumni from each decade, offering copies at a very reasonable $8 each. We sat on the stone bleachers that were part of the original WPA construction project, triggering memories of pep rallies and baseball games observed from that location. Saturday evening more than 350 people attended a dinner-dance at the fairgrounds to conclude the formal events of the celebration.
