Northeast HS....... Class of 1959

Here is a picture of our group taken at the coliseum.

----------------------------------------------

The Northeast -50 year Reunion took place in May 2009.

Three days of celebration and renewing aquaintances was definitely an experience that we will not forget.

Teammates.. . Northeast HS... 1959... Basketball

These guys stated they are ready for a pickup game.

I'm not sure if they mean basketball or girls!!!

It wasn't clarified......

Regardless, they look to be having a great time at the reunion.

Dennis Justi appointed Communications Committee Director

Phoebe Cupples-Billing has asked Dennis Justi to head up the Communications Committee for the future reunions and to keep the dots connected. Dennis has accepted the challenge. As a matter of fact he is honored to be chosen.

Comment from Dennis: ...I was not the social gadabout in high school, as a matter of fact quite the contrary. Wish I had been more outgoing and conversed with classmates on a more frequent basis. However, I really connected with many alumni in a very pleasant way. My memory of Northeast will always be near and dear to my heart. I will give it my best shot. .......................

All classmates are encourged to give input and particapte in ongoing conversation on the website. You may email Dennis Justi ...djusti1@tampabay.rr.com with your current information to keep updated with all the latest news and gossip. Looking forward to hearing from everyone.

not at reunion

Hi everyone,
I have been following the reunion of class of "59 from afar (Reno,NV.) and have enjoy the pictures immensely. I could not travel to the reunion but tried to up to the last few days. It seems as though everyone had a great time, maybe I will be able to attend the next one. I am currently working on my Doctorate in Psychology and hope to be through in the near future. My husband is ill and can not travel so because of both of those I could not attend.

Northeast High School Reunion Class of 1959

Well the reunion is over already, 50 years is a long time and memories seem to last forever. I can still remember my high school days just like it was only yesterday. My hat goes off to Pheobe Cupples
Billings and her complete reunion team. Every facet of the reunion was a smashing success. How wonderful it was to renew old aquaintances and meet friends, some of which I had not seen in 50 years. Hopefully this blog will serve to begin close ties to the class of 1959 Northeast. More so, it may help locate many missing classmates through blogging with everyone in our class.
