GRIDLEY, CA (MPG) - Gridley High School (GHS) class of 1959 did it again!

On Saturday, Sept. 21, the mighty class of ‘59 celebrated their sixty-fifth class reunion. A great banquet was served, at the Feather Falls Casino, to the 40 guests in attendance.

The class has always placed a premium on relationships. Friends spent the evening walking down memory lane as they reminisced the past and embellished some highlights of their school days together.

They also memorialized 52 of their 85 classmates who have passed since graduation, with their names and attached photos.

The following morning, on Sept. 22, the reunited classmates said goodbye once again, at a group breakfast. All in attendance agreed, that being together for another reunion had been wonderful.

Plans are in the works for a group cruise in Fall 2024, with 23 classmates planning to have a bon voyage. This will be their sixth cruise together and will travel from Mexico to Alaska.

The GHS class of ‘59 alumni figured this would be their last reunion but promised to meet together for breakfast or lunch locally, every six months or so.
