Over 160 WCSA alumni gathered on a perfect summer day, July 18, 2009 for the annual All-School Reunion. The day included tours of the campus and West Central Research and Outreach Center gardens, food, fun, fellowship and reminiscing. This year memories were collected on videotape for a documentary being filmed about campus history. Thanks to all who took the time to tell your stories.
The class of 1959 celebrated its 50th anniversary with a large turnout. The classes of 1954 and 1949 also held special reunions. The oldest class represented was 1938.
Next year will be the 100th anniversary of the founding of WCSA - mark your calendars now for reunion July 16-18, 2010 for special reunion plans and WCROC programming.
Enjoy the photos!
