2023 60-year Reunion Group Picture

The Class of 1963's 60-year reunion was held in early June 2023. The almost 50 classmates in attendance celebrated with two evenings of reminiscing.  On the evening of Friday June 9, 2023, they gathered at the DAV Hall to catch-up and then came together again Saturday, June 10, 2023 at the Regency Marriott for a dinner dance.  Everyone had a great time going down memory lane and sharing stories of their years at South High.
