55 years ago, we walked out of those hallways and into the world. It’s time to walk back into those memories and see the faces that started it all!”
We’ve planned a 55th get together and hope you will join us. The following are the plans we’ve made and the methods to get information. We’ve also attached committee members names and numbers, for those who are not on social media. Please pass the word to fellow Bearcats!
Get 55th class reunion information on the following sites:

Note: These are the only authorized ways to contact us for the reunion.
We are also publicizing our reunion in the Battle Creek Shopper. If you have a current email address, mailing address, phone number or any other information about classmates that no longer live in the Battle Creek area, please email their contact information to us or contact a Reunion Committee Member. Feel free to send us an email message to ask any questions regarding the reunion that you might have. After 55 years, it is very difficult to find current contacts for classmates.
