Members of the Spring Valley High School Class of 1949 will gather for their 75th reunion on Friday, Aug. 2 at the Phoenix restaurant in Baldwin.
“We believe we are the first SVHS class to hold a 75th reunion,” said John Reque, who with Carol Karnes Bevill is serving on the reunion committee.
Of the 57 class members who graduated in 1949, nine are still living, three men and six women. The committee expects an attendance of between four and seven classmates.
“It’s just lunch,” said Reque, who explained the event coincides with annual SVHS at the Phoenix on the first Friday of August. “We’ve had 13 reunion gatherings – every five years since our 10th reunion in 1959 and we’d like to keep them going.”
The largest SVHS class 1949 reunion was the 50th, held in 1999, when 32 grads met for a weekend that included a banquet at the Coachmen Supper Club, tours of the old and new high schools and a St. Croix River brunch cruise.
