In Celebration of MHS Class of 1958

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.

Thanks Ouida


THANKS OUIDA FOR ALL THE POSTS, KEEPING US INFORMED, ENSURING WE ARE LOOKING FORWARD TO OUR NEXT REUNION AND MAINTAINING THE BLOG WITH GREAT STUFF!
Some of the girls had a ginkgo tree planted in Jeanette Ferguson Noe's honor on the MHS campus. It's placed between the Student Union and the Vocational Building. Jeanette taught at the high school after graduating from the "W," hence the site selection by Harold Noe. The ginkgo was the species that lined the walkway at the "W" where Jeanette was a powerful force on campus. There soon will be a marker designating the tree as a memorial to her.

Thanks for letting us know where the tree was planted. That's a perfect place.
