The class of 1949 Minonk High School
held their 60th reunion on June 10, 2009 at Mona's in Toluca at noon.
This was the last class to graduate from Minonk; it then became
Minonk-Dana.
Jane Seiler was
Mistress of Ceremonies, Glenn Janssen gave the Prayer of Thanksgiving
and Jane and Betty Wheatley gave a short reading before the meal.

given away as door prizes. Old pictures dating back to school days and
previous reunions and newspaper clippings of articles of class mates
were on display for everyone to view.
