The MDHS Class of 1954 met Friday, Sept. 4 at the home of Lloyd Barth in East Peoria for an informal open house and then met again on Saturday, Sept. 5th at Denhart's Washington Room in Washington for a luncheon and afternoon of visiting and reminiscing about high school days and growing up in the Minonk-Dana area.
Classmates and their spouses came from Minonk, Dana, Eureka, Peoria, East Peoria, Washington, Cairo, and as far away as South Carolina, California, Texas, and Arizona.
The reunion planning committee included Lloyd Barth, Donna Cunningham, and Ron Folkers. The group decided to have another reunion in two years with Shirley Miller, Jack Jochums, and Agnes Gaspardo in charge of planning.
