The Montague High School Class of 1962 had its annual reunion earlier this month, a tradition that dates to its 45th reunion in 2007.
"Our class tries to get together every year, because we figure we have to try to keep in touch with each other," said Tom Owczarski, one of those 1962 Wildcats.
This year's reunion took place at Lloyd's Landing, where Bob Lloyd, another '62 Wildcat, lives. Owczarski said about 20 people attend most of the gatherings, which represents about half the graduating class.
The gathering always includes grilled hot dogs and brats with side dishes brought by potluck. The group also enjoys a log fire - even at this year's reunion, which happened in 90-degree weather.
This year's event also included a tour of the school led by athletic director Jay Mulder, Owczarski said. Grads who served in the armed forces took a photo together in front of the veterans' wall opposite the auditorium.
"About 10 of us showed up," Owczarski said. "He showed us the new facility and the performance center. Luckily most of us are healthy enough to walk through the school and do all that other stuff. We're blessed."
