Tom's 45th Class Reunion

Tom and I drove to Findlay on Saturday, 09/21, for his 45th class reunion. He graduated from Findlay High School in 1974. The day began with a tour of the high school at 10:30 am.

 This metal sculpture was presented to FHS by the Class of '74. It sits in a commons area outside. The school surrounds it on all four sides.

 These are a few of FHS's notable alumni.

 The auditorium ...

 The art room ...

 One of the music rooms. Here students compose music on computers ...

 The band room ...

 A few of the songs played by the marching band. The Beatles Birthday is among them.

 In the cafeteria large murals hang near the ceiling. Each class completes one of these. There isn't enough room for all of them so the displays are cycled.

 One of the two gyms...

 A separate building houses a training room with state-of-the-art exercise equipment ...

 We ended the day in a classroom where David Alvarado, one of the four associate high school principals, talked with us. He also led the two hour tour of the facility.

 Then, that evening we attended the reunion at the Findlay Country Club ...

 The bar area. Tom and I each had a Yingling beer.

Pam Beery 

 Pam and Tom have been lifelong friends. She and her husband, Don Hartsock, allowed us to stay at their home in Delaware that evening rather than drive back to Farmersville so late at night (over two hours away). Of course their wiener dog, Oscar, was an enticement for us, too.
