Around Town

Around Town
The class of 1963 was the first to graduate from the consolidated Johnstown/Milliken schools becoming the Roosevelt Rough Riders. Fifty-two seniors graduated, 12 from Milliken and 40 from Johnstown. Roosevelt’s first Homecoming king and queen were Dan Rouse (Johnstown) and Judy Ehrlich (Milliken). The land for the new Roosevelt High School was donated by classmate Henry Sauer and family. The 63rd reunion of the class of 1963 was held recently at the Black Bear Diner at Johnson’s Corner, with 16 classmates and spouses attending. The class has held yearly reunions except for 2020. The class of ‘63 will “NEVER FORGET” the 23 classmates that have passed. Those attending: Back row: Ernie Derrera, Mitch Speed, Paul Neubauer, Bill Ullmann, Jack Farmer. Second row: Joyce (Reichert) Binder, Annette (Hamilton) Moline, Barbara (Moser) Gilstrap, Carol (Winckel) Redabaugh. Holding poster: Sharon (Buckendorf) Kruise and Sondra (Reed) Chatwell.
