VISITING SACRED GROUND

On Saturday morning, the current principal of Arbutus Middle School, Michelle Feeney, led us through the halls that we trudged during our somewhat formative years....a hallowed place where many of the Class of 1975 came to know one another. Our Vice Principal, Mr. John Maskavich, and his lovely wife, Mrs. Maskavich (the former Mrs. Meushaw) joined us and helped us to recall many fond memories of teachers, misbehavings (and other shenanigans) and our mascot, Smokey. We went where no student ever went before--the teachers' lounge, the boiler room and the school roof....turns out the teachers, administrators and other staff were carrying on just as much as we were!!

35^th Reunion Weekend

October 15 – 16 – 17

FRIDAY, OCTOBER 15, 2010

We’ll be kicking off our reunion weekend on Friday, October 15 at the football field at Lansdowne High for their homecoming football game at 7:00pm. After the game, we’ll meet at Buffalo Wings & Beer located in the Burwood Shopping Plaza, 7089 C Baltimore Annapolis Blvd. in Linthicum for a “pay as you go” gathering to catch up with old friends a bit before the reunion on Saturday. There’s lots of room here, plenty of tables, the wings are excellent and the beer is cold!

SATURDAY, OCTOBER 16, 2010

Meet us in the cafeteria of Arbutus Middle School at 9:00 a.m. on Saturday morning for coffee, donuts and a tour of the school! The
current principal, Ms. Michelle Feeney, has so graciously agreed to host our class and lead us through the halls where many of us first became friends. It will be interesting to see what changes have occurred since we were junior high students there back in the early 70’s.

Diana Parr is creating a slideshow that will run the entire night of the reunion. We are encouraging all classmates to please email any pictures you have from our days at Lansdowne High whether they be school related or just pictures of friends we graduated with enjoying good times during our high school days. At the end of every school year, the Yearbook Committee sold all pictures that were not used and we’d love to include as many of these pictures as possible. If you have any pictures that you’d like to be included in the slideshow and have access to a scanner, please scan and email them to Diana at Diana_Parr@Hotmail.com. If not, please send originals to her at 1709 Woodside Avenue, Baltimore, MD 21227. We’ll scan them and return them to you the night of the reunion.

SUNDAY, OCTOBER 17, 2010

On Sunday, October 17, we’ll wind down the weekend with a combination Class of 1975 & 1976 family picnic at Patapsco State Parkoff of Washington Blvd., Avalon Area, Pavilion #105. Bring your kids, grandchildren and anyone else in your family to enjoy a day at the park. Introduce your family to friends you hung
around with back in high school and share stories and old memories with them (well, maybe not all the stories!). Bring your own food and drinks. The liquor license has been purchased so beer, wine, etc. is allowed. Grills will be available for your use. This pavilion has Horseshoe Pits, an open play field, ballfields and playground nearby. Feel free to bring your sports equipment! It will be so great to see our old friends who graduated in 1976! (there is a $2.00 per person fee to enter the park)
