Our 55th reunion got off to a good start on Friday night with our informal get together at the Holiday Inn on Wells road followed by a much larger group at the NAS Jax Officers Club on Saturday. Everyone seemed to have a good time at both. We were joined Saturday night by two former teachers - Barbara Wesseling and Tom Wasdin.

50th Reunion : April 4-5, 2014

Saturday evening festivities were held in the banquet room at the top of EverBank field. The amenities and food were superb! Classmate photos were taken as we entered as well has 100's of candid shots during the evening. The facility had TV monitors placed throughout which featured a slide slow of old classmate photos. If you can believe it, the dance floor remained crowded to the 60's music provided by our DJ. The "old folks" still know how to party ... although the party room at the hotel was a little silent that night. Each attendee received a Paxon mug as well as a package of personalized Paxon Class of '64 M&M's. Our special guest on Saturday was Barbara Wesseling, former senior English teacher.

Many thanks to Merrilee Hysler and Linda Novak who handled the reception desk on Friday night and Lana Brantley, Judy White & Harold Rowe (all class of '63) who did the same on Saturday night. They allowed us all more time to spend with classmates.

We had close to 700 classmates and guests at the multi-class reunion on June 30th at the National Guard Armory on Normandy Blvd. There was an overflowing crowd at the reunion which made the facilities a little warm and a little crowded, but it was well worth it to get to see so many classmates. Many thanks to the Class of '65 who did an great job of organizing the reunion and working so hard to make it a success! Special guests included Barbara Wesseling, senior English teacher, and Coaches Tom Wasdin and Ed Cunningham. Nanci (Freeman) McCloud must have emptied the shelves at the Cracker Barrel because the tables were covered with nostalgia candy. See Pictures
