Class of 1957 enjoys reunion. During the weekend of April 16-18, the 1957 Class of Miller County High School held its reunion. The festive weekend events were hosted by Jerry Grimsley and Karen Hasty.

Friday night, all of the classmates, their spouses and friends gathered at the barn at Jerry Grimsley’s. The classmates had prepared delicious food to eat while listening to 50’s music and reminiscing.

On Saturday, the classmates rode on a float in the National Mayhaw Festival Parade pulled by Jerry Grimsley in his 1957 Chevy.

On Saturday night, a meal of fish and shrimp with all the trimmings was prepared by Jerry and Homer Spooner. The barn was decorated with lights, streamers, and other 50’s decorations.

The farewell breakfast on Sunday morning consisted of eggs, sausage casserole, grits, fruit and sweet rolls.

A large bulletin board was full of high school and past reunion pictures. A short business meeting was conducted by Jerry Grimsley.
