Meridian High Wildcats '58: FIFTIES REUNION (for all who graduated in the 50's)

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.

The dates are Oct 8th and 9th (Friday and Saturday) of 2021. The reunion cost is $30.00 per person, per night for Fri & Sat night food and banquet rooms. Make check out to MHS Class of 55/56. We have 50 rooms blocked out for the reunion. The hotel has 140 rooms so if we book early, we can get more rooms blocked out for the reunion.
