The yellow rose centerpieces. On each table a green Coke glass sitting on a text book held three yellow roses. Small 57 Chevy or Thunderbird cars filled with mini Moon Pies and retro candy were on one side, and 50s memorabilia on one side.

The Memorial Table. A memorial board with pictures of all our deceased classmates (22.) A table for two with two place settings, a lit candle, with magnolias around it. (Cups and saucers were also on the table.
Whew! We finally finished!! Just in time to go home, shower, get dressed and come back!! Thanks, Judy, for all your help! She did my leg work for me because I was in another state! Thanks, also to Eileen, Delores, and Luann, we recruited them to help!

My Joe covered all the books for us! Thanks, honey!
The bigger 57 Chevy's were filled with two Moon Pies,and retro candy! After registration, all the decorations were added to the display tables.
For those who don't know about Moon Pies - they are big cookies filled with marshmallow cream. I think you can only get them in the South. There used to be a song (and/or a joke) about an "RC Cola and a Moon Pie!" As a gag gift we gave an RC Cola and a Moon Pie to the classmate who came the longest distance, since they aren't able to get them where they live!
I hope you enjoyed seeing the decorations! Soon I will post the photos of going to a tea room with my reunion classmates!

Hello Katherine,
I've visited you from time to time. I have you in my favorites. I was just looking at the pictures and saw Butler High School. I'm thinking to myself that there are probably lots of high schools by that name in the country. So I"m scrolling down and reading other recent entries. I grew up in North Alabama, mostly in a small town in Etowah County near Boaz. I moved to Memphis from Madison where we lived form 1997-2003. My daughter lives in Huntsville. We are planning to retire there. Small world, huh. I loved the decorations.

I loved the 50's theme you chose for your reunion.
Your table for two to remember your classmates who have passed was a touching idea. We've lost at least that many (but our class was well over 400) We graduated in 66 so have a few more yrs to go till our 50th.
My dad's 60th reunion is this year..
hugs!
Kathy, I really enjoyed looking at the pictures and reading about your reunion. The memorial table was such a tender, thoughtful thing to do. You and your classmates all look wonderful! Can't wait to see those tea pics!!
Rest and relax! What a wonderful time you must have had!!
Katherine, everything looks very pretty. I told you my reunion is coming up in July. It's great to know that black and white outfits are in, because I just bought two for mine. :)
I enjoyed seeing pictures from your class reunion. You did a great job on the decorations. Very pretty.
You did a lovely job of decorating, Katherine. Everything is beautiful and all your pictures show evidence of much hard work and detailed planning. Great job! And happy 50th!

The decorations look great and I also love the memory table. I love the RC Cola and Moon Pie idea!
What a lot of work and care you put into the decorations. Everything looks gorgeous. I'm sure your classmates were pleased. I especially liked the little cars filled with treats. I didn't realize RC was still bottled today.
Katherine,
You did a fabulous job with the decorations. We had Moon Pies here in Ontario when I was a kid. We didn't get them often but once in while for a treat.
Thanks for showing us your beautiful creative work. Now to catch up on some of your other posts.
Blessings,
Mary
It sure looks as though you had a great time! What a coincidence that you and your friends wore black and white -- unplanned!
Thanks for being so generous in sharing all these photos with us!
