60
Year Reunion of the Class of '50

 Front Row:  Braxine Truelove Sasser, Margaret Ellis Flowers, Grace Crabtree Bailey, Hazel Harrison Poole,  Ann Duncan Earp and Genevive Holder Johnson.

 Back Row: Roy Coats, Lynwood Hobbs, Clifton Bagley, Herman Vinson, Audrey Bledsoe Norris, Bobby Poole, Cherrie Beddingfield Baskette, Belle Byrd Allen and Rudolph Allen.

The Clayton High School Class of 1950 held its 60th reunion at 10 a.m. on Thursday, July 22, 2010, at McCall’s Barbecue and Seafood Restaurant.   Twenty-nine persons were present, including Aileen Reel Parrish, their 12th grade teacher and sponsor, and her husband, Bill of Wendell.   A special program had been planned by Bob Poole, class president, and Belle Allen, secretary.

A picture board of classmates as babies or as young children created great interest, much speculation, and merriment. Ann Duncan Earp identified the largest number.

 Yearbooks from 1948, 1949, and 1950  were on display as were some copies of the high school newspaper.   Steve Canady, a special guest, showed a video of the 50th class reunion and videoed the 60th event for posterity. The video and annuals were brought by Berneice Jones, widow of class “comedian” Blanton Jones.  Other photographs and memorabilia were on display as well.

Members had the opportunity to share memorable events from their early school days and laughter was the order of the day.  Bob Poole presented a number of gag gifts and gave a report of one member’s historic flight which had Clifton Bagley, seated in a “cockpit”  with wings, goggles and “hot air balloons” getting shot down by the Air Force over the Atlantic Ocean.

Cherrie Beddingfield Baskette, from Atlanta, lighted nine candles and led the  memoriam for deceased class members:  Marie Bridges, Bobby Chatham,  Faye Gulley, Blanton Jones, Laura Jones, Julia Ann Knott, Ray Parker and Charles Stevens, and one of the class mascots, Sue Clark.

            The group signed a card for Annette Garris Barbour, who resides in an assisted living facility in Candor, NC, and was unable to attend. 

            Following the invocation by the Rev. Bob Poole, the group enjoyed a delicious buffet meal.  Each member received a monogrammed cup with the school name and dates 1950-2010, compliments of Bob.  A special contribution was collected to help defray costs of the event and to make a donation to the Scholarship Fund of the Clayton High School Alumni Association.

            Poole asked for volunteers to plan the 70th reunion but there were no “takers.” Plans were made for the group to assemble for lunch at McCalls again in three months.
