In Celebration of MHS Class of 1958

A Tribute and Celebration

We were the class of 1958, members of the Greatest Generation as well as children of the Greatest Generation. Born in 1940, we are also called members of the Traditional Generation.

Our childhood, post World War II, "was the best of times . . . it was the age of wisdom . . . it was the epoch of belief . . .it was the season of Light . . . it was the spring of hope . . . we had everything before us . . .we were all going direct to Heaven . . . ." (A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens.) At least, that's the way I felt about it. We were truly blessed.

A quiz like this should be on a Friday, when my brain is in a semi-functioning state. Way too much to think about on a Monday morning. LOL.

Brought back some memories and let me know how bad my memory is.

It was fun ... and I am glad you furnished the answers. Did you compose these?
