Composed by J.J. Ford / Photos by Mollie Barton

The Center High School Class of 1929 met at T & R's Steaks and More on October 17th to celebrate their 80th reunion. The 1929 graduates present were Mattie Dellinger, age 98, and Kate Kimbro, age 97. Not able to attend the reunion was Jack Barron, age 96 and Charles Poston, age 98 of Port Arthur. According to Mattie, Charles Poston is the oldest living alumni of Center ISD and will turn 99 in January of 2010.

A special guest, Susie Nelson, the daughter of Willie Nelson, also attended the reunion. The theme for the reunion was the 'Roaring 20s'. Dr. Hooker lead the group in 1920's songs. Colleen Doggett dressed up in flapper attire and a wig in the fashion of Colleen Moore, an American film actress, and one of the most fashionable stars of the silent film era. After the reunion Mattie and Kate were carried by Susie Nelson's limo to the parade and all three were special guests invited to attend the Class of 1959 reunion.

Plans for the 81st reunion were also made. Susie Nelson plans to bring two musicians from Willie's band to play for the group while Susie sings.

Mattie also attended the Alumni meeting which was held Saturday morning. She stated that she has never missed a meeting and was one of the first organizers for the Homecoming plans. Mattie fondly remembers planning several of the 1953 Homecoming activities that was to help raise money to buy new uniforms for the band.

Submitted by Jim Ross

The THS Class of 1966 had a great turn out for their 43rd reunion held Saturday, October 17, 2009 at Good Hope Baptist Church Fellowship Hall in the Blair community. Spouses, teachers, and friends joined the 25 graduates as more than sixty people attended. The reunion started at 1:00 pm with a lot of reminiscing, visiting, and looking at old pictures. Later in the afternoon a tour of the high school was led by Pat Crawford, a THS teacher. Everyone enjoyed seeing the classrooms where they once sat and talking about the different teachers. All were impressed with the renovations, additions and the new sports complex. A group picture was taken on the front steps of the high school and another back at the fellowship hall.
