The birthday dinner was served in the Cornelia Dining Room as the evening proceeded with a fun-filled program. Class President Dale Williams delivered inspiring words to the group. Evergreen Sheffield Micheaux, presented a plaque to Williams in recognition of his service to the class as president since 1965.
After singing the School Alma Mater, Otis Brown and Curtis Daniels regaled the class with memories from grade school through graduation.
