About The Great Reunion '97 |
|
The Chatham (NJ) High School Great Reunion '97 took place over the 4th of July weekend, 1997. All members, former
classmates and friends of CHS from the classes of 1919 through 1997 (Boro and Township)
were invited. 2068 former classmates attended the events including individual class
parties, the 4th of July parade and a soccer re-match of the Borough and Township alumni
soccer teams. Saturday night, July 5th, the All Classes Party was held under two huge tents set up on the athletic field of the old Lum avenue school, corner of Chatham street and Lum avenue. Weather conditions were ideal with a clear sky, temperatures in the low eighties and very little humidity. The event was sold out with 1440 people attending. As reported by the Daily Record in its July 6th edition, "It takes a lot to celebrate nearly 100 years of Chatham High School. There were 144 tables, each with balloons in blue, white and gold; more then 3000 pieces of chicken Dijon; 400 bottles of wine, serving some 1800 glasses; 20 kegs of beer; 400 pounds of sirloin; nine kinds of fruit; 4500 brownies, pecan angles, coconut squares and rasberry tarts; and, most important of all 1440 graduates of Chatham High School and Chatham Township High School. They gathered last night for the highlight of this week's four-day Great Reunion, a gala buffet dinner, music and lots of memories. The alumni spanned more than 75 years, and William Goehner, Class of 1919, was the oldest one there." At the end of the party all those who were still there gathered together and holding hands sang "God Bless America". There was not a dry eye to be found. If you did not received any of our
