Class of '65 gathers for a reunion
 
It takes an age-turning decade (It doesn't matter which one) for many of us to realize that we may not be around to enjoy the next all-school reunion.  Several members of the class of 1965 had that thought recently at a classmate's funeral and decided to call in the troops for a long-overdue "hugging of the buddies."
 
Ray Morse sent letters to the 120 Bonhi Exes on record (14 being deceased), with more than half responding to the affirmative.  Classmates, spouses and guests gathered at Cindy Baker's on Saturday, May 6 for a barbecue dinner.  Special honorees Stan Wessinger and Nolan Ashmore added an effervescence to the gathering with their quit wit and ready recall.  Following the welcome, Cindy led the group in prayer.
 
Johnny Reynolds played the guitar and sang about the Class of 1965. 
 

Hot summer night in June

Under the Texas Moon

The Class of 65 is alive and fine

 

We’ve all come back again

Some were lovers, All were friends

People we’ve been know ‘in

For all of our lives

 

We’ve gone our separate ways

But we remember high school days

And teachers that took the time

To show us the way

 

Conley, Ethelleen,

Annie Pearl and Josephine

I know they had a dream

We’d make it some day.

 

40 years since I’ve seen them

Still matchin faces with the names

Only one thing we know for certain

The twins still look the same.

 

I remember yesterday

Alan and Jana in the senior play

And Roland on a breakaway

From the 50 yard line

 

And cheering him on to victory

Were Doris, Sheryn and Cindy C.

Both Carolyns and the Warrior Band

Performing at half time.

 

Dancin' at the State Park

Parking when it got Dark

American or the Drive In show

On Saturday night.

 

 

Drinking 7-up and Gin

From his fathers liquor bin

My first hangover was

What am I gonna say now when I see them

I wonder if they will remember me

I’m beginning to look a little older now

But I’ve got a lot of company

 

High School History

A brown eyed girl and me

I wonder what she’s been doing

All these years

 

And since she went away

After graduation day

Does some old song on the radio

Bring her back here.

 

Remember how we got our thrills

Going over Leonard hills

And did we really go too far 

When we went all the way

 

Just when things were getting hot

At Jimmies’ favorite parking spot

He found that sometimes airplanes land

On unlighted runways

 

Drag Racing north of town

Haunted house when the sun went down

Driven up and down the drag

Holdin hands

 

Rock and Roll at the skating rink

Senior party out at Fannin Lake

You know I never ever got to dance

I was playing in the band.

 

 

40 years now

Not as many as we used to be

Fathers, Mothers, Wives and Husbands

Mortality.

 

What am I gonna do when I see her

I wonder if I will feel the same

Is there a spark inside still burning?

And will that spark start old flame.
