On Friday evening there was a casual gathering at the Country Inn Hospitality Room. Saturday afternoon a large group toured the new Centennial Auditorium and the Hall of Fame at SHS.
This was the second class to graduate from the new Sterling High School in 1952. Saturday evening was a grand affair at Deer Valley Country Club, with 65 out of 124 remaining classmates attending.
Some concluded the weekend with breakfast and more reminiscing on Sunday morning.
