Reunion News

The CHS Class of '54 had a Celebrity reunion cruise to the Bahamas from May 20-27, 2006.


Chester High School Class of 1954 held their 50th reunion on April 24, 2004 at the Ramada Inn, Essington, Pa.:

"There were 204 people present, of which 129 were classmates. All comments to me were positive and that everyone had a good time. I could not believe that the dance floor was always occupied. The results of the voting for the future was that we will meet again in 5 years (April 25, 2009) for a dinner. The night ended with only classmates on the dance floor and overhead balloons were released and Mardi Gra type necklaces were thrown to the crowd. This was followed by the song "We'll meet again, don't know where don't know when..." and ended with the singing of the Alma Mater. Sounded pretty good for "YOUNG old timers"."

Pete, stay safe, enjoy the refreshments. Do you board up? Years ago, we lived year round in Cape May, in 1985 Hurricane Gloria was heading our way on Sept 27th with 95mph winds, widespread flooding. People came from PA/DE/NJ/NY to see the raging waters when they heard that we were to be hit. The State Police had to stop visitors from entering the city. We were told to board up our windows that face the water, and to move all furnishings into the center of the room. Taped the windows for fear of broken glass. Sand bagged the any door from the outside in to prevent water damage. It was a mandatory exodus from the area. Packed up the photos, old movies, important papers, the kids, dog and went to pick up my Mom who didn't want to leave her home at the shore.. what a trip. Finally packed in a huge English Sheep dog and Mom with the already packed car headed into Cape May to get a glimpse of the mad waters. They were beautiful. Yes, beautiful. The white caps looked as though they danced in the Sun. The streets were already flooding...in the Frog Pond area even on heavy rain days it would flood. I hope they corrected that over the years...After walking around and having packed the camera where we couldn't get to it, back to PA we headed. Only two major routes out of the Cape. The Garden State Parkway, or 47. what a haul. Got to PA finally, in the mean time the storm shifted and did not hit. So much for Gloria...The only other time we were in one was aboard the cruise ship Victoria going to Bermuda. When we were in Porto Rico they got all ship passengers off the Island and headed to the Virgin Islands I think. They had life lines setup around the ship and drills, and boy was I seasick. They had to follow me around with a bucket. I got seasick on the water beds in South of the Border, how I thought I could go on a cruise baffles me to this day. That was about 1964. Maybe we went because Mom won it at a raffle at St. Raymonds and gave it to us.. a free trip.. Loads to write in my journal for my descendents.. My kid is leaving for LA tomorrow and is driving down...so Mom will be hoping he is smart enough to pack his camera and leave it where he can reach it. :) God keep you all safe...

Iris thank you for adding the note regarding cards to friends who are ill. A card, a little note brings a feeling of warmth to a person, especially when received after a longer than expected illness. We often get requests to add a note when there is a birthday or illness from a family member. She is in my prayers. After all where would the "Twirlers" be without their captain. God Bless you all for being such good friends.

Hi to all---In regard to Doctor Jordan ("spelled the same as the RIVER JORDAN"), I cringe everytime that I hear a news commentator say "Jist" instead of "just"! I believe that we are in desperate need of more Dr. Jordan's in our school systems. I never thought that I would ever say that as frightened as I was of her class.

Caroline: The St. Petersburg Times. I'm in Clearwater for a month or so and I read it everyday and I look at the obits and I always see some names of former Delaware Countians. Dan: How could you? When the final vestiges of Dr. Jordan's ominous shadow was finally receding after all these years--you revived it! I can still quote verbatim the part of William C.Bryant's "Thanatopsis", we had to memorize in her class.

I thought that was Houdini's saying and probably a parent thing to the kids...Thanks for the reminder Dan, its always good to have the mind jogged a little. Always loved to know the origin of sayings we heard in our lives..

Dan: I generalized when I said "you" ..meaning universal. sorry I didn't make myself clearer...Stan will be heading down to visit my brother next month, he lives in Wilm. My cousin had a house built in Point Breeze for retirement. With all the northern moving down there I wouldn't be surprised if you don't see Hoagie shops opening soon. Thanks for the schedule will watch it on the 8th...........

Heres are question for the Smedley group. What was the last song played at the end of your dances. When talking about Good Night Sweetheart on a private website this morning, Florence mentioned the closing song of Smedley. Didn't know Jr. Highs in the city had dances.

You made me laugh with the 39 years..that was a favorite with my husband for years, all our kids passed him in age...I agree with you regarding your classmates Tom, the ones I know do have a lot of activity in their lives..as for aches and pains, I've been a big pain for years in my older sisters life, lucky she loves me..maybe you know how those little sisters can be....So you have to produce a ID to get a senior discount, hmmmmmmmm..did you visit the Fountain of youth in Fl. along the way. I'm 4 years behind you and I think they would have asked me for mine. Where is that water to be found. Have a great year.

Caroline & Ed....Thank you for your Holiday greeting. Ed, I sure do remember those wonderful assemblies. Thanks for bringing back what was almost a lost memory. As far a age goes, I really don't think any classmate from CHS 54 is over 39!! Most of them that I am fortunate to see and talk to (aside from a few aches and paines) can stand right along side of their younger peers, and tackle anything. So....as you say, Happy old years and a Happy New Year to you both and classmates of CHS '54. PS....Caroline, ask Iris and Wanda who had to produce ID to get a senior discount to the aquarium on our class trip to Bermuda. ????
