June 2022

The Terrell High School Class of 1967 held their 55th class reunion June 25 in the home of LeeAnn Hutchinson. This was the last class at THS to have maroon and white as their school colors. The colors were subsequently changed to the current red and white. Any member of the class that would like to be involved may contact Vinnie Perry, who heads up the committee, or other members Mindy Lovell, Gary Lovell, or Susan Buford. A 75th birthday party is being planned for the class members next. The group enjoyed a BBQ dinner and a cake with their fight song inscribed on it. They enjoyed catching up with everyone and viewing a memorial book provided for those classmates no longer with them. Courtesy photo
