1957 Reunion

This image is of a 1959 Prom, held at the Abe Lincoln Hotel.
Hard to say if it's SHS '59--do you recognize anyone?

Some of you probably had friends in the Class of '57.
They held their 50th Reunion on August 17-19, 2007.
C. E. Welch sent me their list of attendees.
Perhaps you remember some of these folks.
Your comments are welcome.

Thanks to Sue Ervin and Judy Van Hagen
for clarifying this news item.

Hi Will,
The fellow in the light colored coat in the middle of the picture looks like Don Castles from the class of '56. Where did the picture come from?

Hi Judy,

I think you're right about Don Castles. The picture is from page 81 of Springfield Entertainment: A Pictorial Quarterly (St. Louis: G. Bradley Publishing, 1996), edited by Curtis Mann, Edward Russo, and Melinda Garvert, curators of the Sangamon Valley Collection in the Lincoln Public Library. I feature it on this page of the Album in the SHS '58 site: http://www.princeton.edu/~howarth/SHS/town/entertain.html

That mystery list that CD sent me: was it the 50th reunion of '57?
