REUNION ACTIVITIES
Welcome, classmates
to the 25th class reunion
on this 50th anniversary year
of our graduation
from Tulia High School!
It is an exceptional class that maintains reunions every 5 years!
It’s a tenacious class that is 86% alive and mostly well after 50 years!
And it’s an eternally optimistic class that expects to be in reunion
until the last one of us is a Heavenly Hornet!
Many people and numerous circumstances have brought us together
this 17th of July 2010.
Acknowledgements are printed on the back page.
Thanks abound
— to all who planned, organized, facilitated our weekend.
— to all who have traveled or sent messages from nearby and far away.
— to parents and teachers who nurtured us through our school years
and beyond, some to this very day.
— for a city in the panhandle of Texas that receives us
with open and proud arms and hearts.
