(12/23/2008) As our last (& only) reunion was 30 years ago and waiting for the proper protocol to kick in had yielded no results? ... I ask any 1969 CHS classmate to contact me to see if we can organize some type of reunion in 2009 for anyone that wishes to participate. Ted Wright email: wrightted@aol.com -- (5/12/2009 update ... I've been swamped this entire year so far and have received just a few encouraging offers of support so I'm not banking on any significant gathering this year ... unless someone else wants to jump in and get this rolling? -- Ted)

We will be honoring the Class of '58 as they celebrate their 50th year since graduation in 1958. We have also invited the Old Timers Alumni Association of which 49 have responded to our reservations.
This will be our 9th Annual Reunion. It will be held at the Collinsville Middle School beginning with a bus tour of the construction, new homes, churches, and shopping areas now available. The reception will begin at 3:00 p.m. With endividual class photos beginning at 5:15 starting with the Class of '50 and ending with the class of honor, 1958. The reception will be held in the middle school library.
The Class of '58 will be introduced individually prior to the banquet which is to start at 6:30. Escargot of Tulsa will be catering again this year. Ron Evans, co-founder of the Nifty Fifties, will serve as the emcee. After the introductions, pledge to the flag, invocation, and welcome the seven $1000 recipients of the Nifty Fifties ($4000), Collinsville Education Foundation ($1000), and Old Timers ($2000) scholarships will be introduced and presented with photos of their high school activities. Those students are: Jarrod Shearer, Tara Inbody, Rachel Morgans, Raelynn Moore, Michael Pitts, and Lizzy Schultz. A framed photo of Jarrod and Tara will be sent to 1952 graduate, Norman McKinney CEO of UNChildren, which gave $2000 to the Nifty Fifties scholarship program. Those pictures will be hung in the company headquarter's office. This will make16 Collinsville Seniors who are displayed at UNChildren in Boulder, Colorado.
After dinner, John Combs of the Class of 1958 will present an incredible CD that he has made honoring his class, those Nifty Fifties members who served in the military (it is nothing short of sensational), and a look back at Collinsville in the past.
After announcements , door prizes, and special presentations the group will adjourn and begin plans for Reunion 2009 which will be honoring the Class of 1959. The theme will be "Aloha to the Fifties".
