2008 Reunion Gallery

Western High School Class of 1968, Russiaville Indiana @ the 40th class reunion -- 33 classmates were able to make a showing -- at least that's how many made it in the picture above!! It all took place at Camp Tycony in Kokomo, Indiana on July 12, 2008.  Some of us even took a tour of the old high school building -- thanks John Davis (WHS 1965), married to Marcheta Kuhns, for the tour + thanks Terry Steiner (WHS 1967), married to Joyce Payne, for the class group picture!  Special thank yous to Julie Anger-Whitehouse & Mark Thatcher for being co-coordinators of the event + all those others who assisted greatly -- you know who you are!!!  Can you figure out who's who above?!?

I know there will probably be a 50 year reunion (2018), but I have also heard talk about one in another five years (2013) -- so keep in contact with the classmates that you can and by updating your info at the WHS Alumni web page!

A Different World

http://www.cmt.com/videos/bucky-covington/133268/a-different-world.jhtml


We were born to mothers who smoked and drank {NOT mine, NOT ALL!!}
Our cribs were covered in lead based paint
No child proof lids, no seat belts in cars
Rode bikes with no helmets and still here we are, still here we are
We got daddy’s belt when we misbehaved
Had three TV channels you got up to change
No video games and no satellite
All we had were friends and they were outside, playin’ outside

Chorus
It was a different life
When we were boys and girls
Not just a different time
It was a different world

School always started the same every day
The pledge of allegiance then someone would pray
Not every kid made the team when they tried
We got disappointed and that was all right, we turned out all right

Chorus

Bridge
No bottled water, we drank from a garden hose
And every Sunday, all the stores were closed

Chorus

Chorus

It was a different world
