WEYBURN - Last weekend, the graduating classes of Western Christian College 1979 - 1983 gathered for a highly anticipated reunion. The atmosphere was filled with excitement and nostalgia as old friends reunited, sharing stories and memories of the past.
My graduating class, 1983, had a mighty showing with seven in attendance. This may not seem like many, but our class was only 30-some when we walked across the stage 41 years ago.
As we gathered, we looked at the familiar faces, and our hearts swelled with warmth. Some had to reintroduce themselves, as many of us have changed just a tad!
Several of us were part of an a cappella chorus, a beloved part of our school experience. We sang familiar songs, blending harmonies in perfect unison. Time stood still as we sang timeless classics, transporting us back to a bygone era. The music bridged the years, reconnecting us on a deeper level.
Guest speakers, comprised of former students and staff, shared inspiring stories, recounting lessons learned and experiences that shaped us. Their words resonated deeply, reminding us of the indelible mark our alma mater left on our lives.
Throughout the reunion, we enjoyed delicious meals, provided by local caterers. Laughter and conversation flowed effortlessly, rekindling the strong bonds we formed during our school days. In those moments, time melted away, and we were once again the carefree students we once were.
Stories of high school antics made us laugh until we cried.
As the reunion drew to a close, we exchanged promises to stay in touch, to meet again, and with a plan for the next reunion.
Our shared experiences will forever be etched in our hearts.
