Andrew Warde High School's Class of 1975 has come up with a unique celebration later this year. The class is touting its 32nd reunion, which usually isn't sufficient cause for a grand affair. However, the reunion committee is calling it a "50th birthday celebration!"What a great idea! Members of the Class of 1975 will be turning 50 years old this year, and what better reason to get together and celebrate the milestone than with their high school class?
The reunion announcement appeared in Sunday's Connecticut Post, and naturally it caught my eye. I know we just had our 30th reunion this past August, but what about a 50th birthday party next year? It certainly doesn't have to be on the scale of our 30th reunion, but it would afford us a wonderful opportunity to stay in touch.
We were born during a special time in history. Locally, Fairfield was experiencing tremendous growth in the mid- to late-1950s. Over the last two years, there have been 50th anniversary celebrations for Andrew Warde High School, Notre Dame High School in Fairfield, Osborn Hill School (where I attended kindergarten), and my parish, St. Pius X.
The Class of 1975 is holding its 50th birthday bash September 29 at the Trumbull Marriott. Classmates are invited to contact Rick Norell, Mike Farkas, or Mary Ann Colihan for more information.
A 50th birthday celebration sounds like a great idea. Let me know what you think.
