Class of 1956

This web site is the official site for all information pertaining to the Palm Beach High School Class of 1956.  Please visit this site often for new information.


ON-GOING ALUMNI GET-TOGETHERS!

The "northender" PBHS alums held their kick-off breakfast this past Tuesday (June 9), and a grand time was had by all. We decided to start off with monthly gatherings ~ on a Tuesday of each month, then increase the frequency as time goes along. No reservations are necessary, just show up 9:00 a.m. All classes and guests are invited. RALPH'S PLACE, 3902 BURNS ROAD,(BETWEEN ALT A1A & MILITARY TRAIL), PALM BEACH GARDENS, PHONE: 561-625-6687. The breakfast & lunch restaurant is owned by Ralph (& Betty '54 Coutant)Percy...just keeping it in the "family"!! The next one is July 7th, so mark your calendars. August is the 11th; September is the 15th. Going forward it will be the second Tuesday of each month.

The on-going weekly PBHS breakfasts at the Newport Cafe on Forest Hills Blvd., WPB, are going strong. They start each Thursday by 8:00a.m. - till.

Coming together with our dear school-mates is a really fun experience. Past memories are the easiest and it is great to have them awakened!

For those who live in the area, and those who visit, please go to the newly re-done "old courthouse" on N. Dixie. They have removed the shell which hid this lovely ediface, and brought it back to its splendor. The City Archives are housed there and definitely worth a visit. For those doing genealogy, there is a plethora of data to peruse and copy.

We have assembled the photos from the 100th Celebration and have posted some on the "Reunion Photos" menu choice. There are so very many photos that Jackie Braithwaite Sudano put them on a number of CD's, which may be ordered from her. Just phone 561-626-5276 to purchase for a very reasonable price. Jackie has also put together a fabulous,chock-full CD of our class scrapbook/album which you may purchase as well.

If you have some reunion or other class photos, you may send to Carol Ruschmeyer Parkey via snail-mail – address in the directory.

WE HOPE 2009 WILL BE A GOOD YEAR FOR YOU!
