The festivities began on Friday, July 16th at 6:30 p.m with a casual

members and spouses) attended Friday night's event.

spouses and 3 of our former teachers) attended on Saturday night.
The photographer took our picture and brought in a proof before
the evening ended. Everyone looks just like they did 50 years ago (ha ha). Seriously though, must say, the
picture does reflect a good looking group!
Following the dinner and the program, music for dancing was provided by "Nite Life"
band from 9 to 12.
If you are interested in details of the two nights, they are provided for you on the

Another Reunion in Arizona
The 2008 Arizona UTHS Alumni gathering was held at the home of Tom and Joanne Glatter
ans was attended by 13 alumni and spouses. Present from the Class of 1954 was Jessie Boyd, Larry
& Kay (Slover) Nelson, Rod Sohrbeck, Sunny (Swanson) Wandro. If you happen to winter in the Phoenix, Arizona area, there is another reunion held on the first Sunday
in March. This reunion is open to all U.T.H.S. Alumni and Staff Members. The upcoming winter's gathering
will be held again on March 1, 2009.
This event began in 1998 with five members of the Class of 1954 having lunch together
and has expanded as people had heard about the class members' get together and called to inquiry if they could join the group.
So, if you are in the Phoenix area on the first Sunday in March and would like to attend,
you can get in touch with Jessie (Gray) Boyd via this web site or call Sally Leibovitz, Phoenix or Leroy and Arline (Schneck)
Stevenson, Mesa for further details.
This is a very casual event. We bring hors d'oeuvre and our own beverage.
Come one, come all!
