Our 50th Class Reunion

The Bishop Forest High School class of 1964 celebrated its 50th class reunion on Saturday, October 11, 2014.  Classmates, spouses, and guests gathered for a fun filled afternoon at The Barn At Piano Bridge northeast of Schulenburg, Texas.  46 members of the 1964 graduation class came out on this fall day to enjoy visiting with each other and sharing memories that were part of our past.  It was also a time for us to catch up on who is where and what everybody is doing now.  We enjoyed a great meal and some excellent fellowship.  It doesn’t seem as though it has been 50 years since we left the halls of BFH.  Our class is strong and we aim to stay connected.  Everyone had an enjoyable time.  If you didn’t make it, we thought about you and wished you could have been there.

Parade Time: …And Our Class Was Represented!

Hey classmates! We missed you at the 2014 Schulenburg Festival Parade, but we had a good time.  It took a lot of work by Carol Strobel Kana and others to create the float, and a whole bunch of classmates who showed up to ride the float in the parade.  Float riders arrived early to make last minute adjustments.

We did have a chance to visit with each other prior to the parade.  It good to see familiar faces we haven’t seen for a long time.  Riding in the parade was a lot of fun.  The kids along the parade route had a blast picking up goodies tossed their way.

It was sunny and a bit warm, but that didn’t dampen our BFHS spirits.  We were proud to begin celebrating our 50th reunion year.  Everyone had a good time.  Sure do wish you too could have been there to help make it a special day.

  1. Our Class of 1964 has reserved October 11, 2014 for celebrating our 50th year since graduation day in May of 1964. We were and still are the largest class ever to graduate Bishop Forest. We were 82 strong! We look forward to gathering at “The Barn” on Piano Bridge Rd just northeast of Schulenburg. More information will follow to each individual soon.

    We will continue to “keep the green and white alive” with love, prayers and peace! God bless these alumni of Bishop Forest High School!
