MT. MORRIS — On Oct. 4, the Mt. Morris High School (MMHS) Class of 1959 held its 65th class reunion. The gathering took place at the old MMHS cafeteria which is now the home of Jen’s Artisan Breads; Jen and her staff served a fabulous brunch and were instrumental in the success of the reunion.
Classmates arrived for the reunion from Alaska, California, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Texas, and Wisconsin. The class of 1959 holds the honor of being the first to graduate after completing all four years from the new high school which opened in 1955.
Guest speakers included Howie Herman, Bryce Young (Natural Resources Conservation Service), and Adrienne Stafford (Farm Service Agency). Speaking to the class for a “Look At The Past”, Howie gave a thorough and interesting history of Mt. Morris. In “Looking To The Future”, Bryce and Adrienne spoke on the importance of pollinators and what individuals can do to enhance this important aspect of nature.
Laughs, memories, photos and yearbooks were shared; a good time was had by all!
