60 years, 60 years ago we graduated from Hereford High School. 60 years. What??? Has it really been that long??? A lot has happened in those 60 years.
It was a bittersweet time filled with pleasant memories but also regret that 38 of our class members are no longer with us.
We traded stories of marriages and divorces, children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, and merely explained how we had passed the time and made our way in the world. Although most had grown a little rounder and grayer (which some of us hide by becoming a little blonder), We expressed values of family, faith, hard work, simple pleasures. We had chosen careers, made changes, retired, put our children through college and saw them start careers of their own. Most of us now have grandchildren and great-grandchildren that melt our hearts. We pray that their futures are bright.
Best of all were the humorous stories experienced while in high school and the fact that we survived the many decades since high school. Laughter abounded throughout the day! If you missed the reunion, you missed something special. Welcome home.

~~~~Musings of our 50th HHS CLASS REUNION IN 2009~~~~
July, 2009…. The Class of '59 had 3 functions for its big 50th Reunion. An informal meet at First Baptist Church, dinner and meeting at the country club, and an outdoor informal mixer and cookout.
The informal meeting was nothing fancy. As we arrived we all began to nod, smile, and wave. My classmates were in the flesh and it didn't matter anymore who drove the big car and who had the big house or who had gathered titles or didn't; there was just this incredible love chattering back and forth. Instead of seeing gray hair and fat and wrinkles we saw ourselves as beautiful young girls and sleek joyous boys.
That evening we enjoyed a perfect July night at the Country Club cocktail hour/dinner/meeting. Some of us blew the wheels off our cholesterol reduction meds. In memory of deceased class members we observed a moment of silence as we viewed a DVD of those no longer with us. We had a wonderful meal followed by a great program. We were flitting from table to table in fond remembrance, taking pleasure even in people you never really knew and hadn't perhaps seen for 50 years but overwhelmed now with their being there.
The weather was great the next day for the afternoon/evening of visiting and a hamburger cookout at Gary Kriegshauser’s 7-Up Ranch. The decorations and food at the cookout were 'over the top'... There was lots of laughter and an amazing number of hugs, smiles, and flashes from cameras. One guy said, "tears just keep flowing out," it was a time of nostalgia as we were remembering this and recalling that.
Nobody cared about much except they were glad they and you survived and we got to see one another again. Even though it had been 50 years since we graduated, we all felt the years melt away as we spent hours together reliving high school and catching up on everyone's life. It was wonderful to have so many friends together again!
If you missed it, I'm sorry, because you missed a great time! It was great talking with everyone: before the reunion, during, and most certainly after. I'm looking forward to keeping in touch with all of you...!
It was a great weekend and the team which put all of the events together are to be congratulated for a job very well done.

Now, we step back in time to 1999....
Our 40th Class Reunion in 1999 was fun, too! We hadn't seen each other since our 20th Reunion. Enjoy these "old" pictures from 1999. (Sorry the pictures are not the best quality, but you get the idea...)
Now, we go further back in time to 1969 when we had our 10th Reunion. Can you name these people that are in the picture?
And.... even further back in time..... The following video contains pictures of Hereford ---1940 and Up .........where some of us were born or spent most of our childhood and attended school or graduated ....I hope you leave with a smile on your face, bringing memories that you will always treasure.......
