McALESTER —
A 50-year reunion celebration for graduates of the Stuart High School Class of 1960 was held May 7 at Pete’s Place in Krebs with 10 class members and guests, as well as their class sponsor, Tom Duff, attending.
The evening began with an informal visit, which included getting reacquainted with each other, looking at old school pictures, exchanging stories and taking pictures. Class members remembered the graduates from their class that had passed away: Ireland Reeder Stroder, Della Mae Arthur, and Doyle Trimm.
After dinner, the evening ended with a special dessert – a cake which was decorated with a screen print picture of the 1960 graduating class senior picture board.
Gradates attending from out of state were Joan Hall Faubin of Dallas, Texas; Sam Price Jr. of Fairview, Texas; and Freda Welch Gidden of Fort Smith, Ark.
Attending from around the state were Sandra Burns Mann of Broken Arrow; Addie Martin Reeder of Claremore; Darlene Huddleston Crandell of Arpelar; Loretha Nunn Osborne of Stuart; Homer Zackery of Krebs; Joe David Middleton of Holdenville; Joe Bob Black of Stuart; and 1960 Senior Class sponsor, Tom Duff of Eufaula.
Graduates unable to attend were Virgina Crone Olney of Oklahoma City; Lyndall Christian Holloway of Stuart; James Griffith of Atwood; Carl Frazier of Ada; Shirley McNutt of Stuart; and Edna Crowder Hicks.
