Graduates of Minden High School class of 1943 will celebrate with a reunion Friday, October 25. This war-time class will be few in number but those remaining will visit the high school and donate a framed picture of their class.
Looking back at prior reunions, some memories come forward. I remember riding a float the year of our 50th reunion and hearing Ike Kirkikis shout to everyone "50 years." We were in good health and most of us were healthy at our 60th reunion although we knew some of us had medical problems. Those included Ike, who still made donuts for our breakfast.
We were in the middle of our Junior year when Japan attacked Hawaii. Our lives changed: For male students physical education changed from touch football to running an obstacle course.
This class didn't produce a headline maker, but it produced solid, productive citizens.
