We have just discovered that a 5th Reunion was held in late summer, 1965. A notice was placed in the August 25th edition of the Pantagraph. The notice was:

Bloomington High School class of 1960 will hold a reunion Sunday at the Board of Education picnic grounds.  Chairman is David Dollins.  Members will take box lunches.

So the Reunion would have been Sunday, August 29th. To date, there has been limited information found regarding this event. Since this was before we all thought to bring cameras (what was a cell phone?), it might be assumed that very few pictures were taken.

However, Peg Rust Wetzel has shared the following memory. Enjoy!

There was a fifth reunion. It was a picnic by what is now BJHS. There were probably about 25 people there, mostly locals. I just remember having a great visit with Joe Kroutil as I hadn't seen him in five years. It must have been casual and gotten over early as Bill and I walked there from our apartment on Jefferson Street and took our little baby with us. I don't remember much else about it. Sorry!
