A Note from the Class Reunion Committee

Dear Fellow 1986 Classmates,
It has been almost 40 years since we received our diplomas and headed off in different directions.
It was 1986, and there were ~200 of us wearing the same caps and gowns, sitting in the same folding chairs on the concrete in front of Pressly Hall. There were ~200 of us with our own unique talents and ambitious dreams, our own secret fears and diverse perceptions of what our high school experience had been. We were an eclectic bunch, divided by interests and abilities and circumstances. But for a sunny day in May of 1986, we were one.
We aren’t the same people we were in 1986. I’m going to guess that we are wiser. I’m going to guess that we are much more aware of the world beyond 1424 W Paces Ferry Rd. I’m going to guess that you are more knowledgeable, more open-minded, more compassionate, and maybe even (a little) more mature. You are, in many ways, an entirely different version of yourself. Success doesn’t mean the same thing to me that it did in 1986. Those grades were important, but they weren’t quite as important as I thought they were at the time.
