Class of 1950 Shares Memories at Reunion

Members of the Class of 1950 celebrated their 65th Anniversary Reunion at a midday gathering held at the Radisson in Madison on August 29, 2015.

1950 was the start of the fast changes that would be seen in the coming decades as the Cold War came and went and technology became a dominant force worldwide. The Great Depression was becoming a faint memory while hearts were still broken over those lost during World War II. The median family income was $3,300 a year, the average cost of a new house was $8,450 and a gallon of gas was just 18 cents, 
and milk was still delivered to the doorstep. Disney released a new animated film, Cinderella, while the movie version of the Broadway hit musical, Annie Get Your Gun, kept audiences laughing.
