Burbank High Class of '66 -

For many of us, it has been over fifty-five years since we gave high school any serious thought. After graduation in June 1966, we were in the Service, off to college or starting our careers. If you wanted to keep in touch with a classmate, you needed an address book and a telephone number. Now, when we read the name and see a photo of someone with whom we may have spent twelve school-years, it quickens our hearts. Is our old friend hail and hearty or are we reading an obituary?

For us, high school was "one and done", or so we thought. Now, fifty-five plus years later, we contemplate the prospects of a sixtieth class reunion in 2026. Back in the day, we did have class, whether we knew it or not. Never, anywhere in this universe did 645 high school students get together and have more fun doing silly things.

In that spirit, the BHS Class of '66 may yet meet again at The Castaways Restaurant in 2026. Book your resevation soon.
