The Grove High School Class of 1948 held its 58th-year reunion in June in conjunction with the centennial celebration of Grove High School.

Twenty-nine class members attended from seven states.

A brunch was held in the morning at the First Presbyterian Church fellowship hall and a dinner was served that night.

Randy Turner of Naples, Fla., was master of ceremonies. Jack Brown of St. Albans, W.Va., gave the invocation.

Malcolm Council of Ridgecrest, Texas, conducted a memorial Service for five class members and teachers who had died since the 2003 reunion.

The classmates were Vernon Kean, Carolyn McFadden Wallis, Harrell Barton, Bill McNutt and Christine Bray Ray. The teachers were Marion Cook and Robert Jelks.

Class members also attended the dedication of the plaques at the grave of E.W. Grove in the Paris City Cemetery and the Tower Building.

They also toured the Tower Building, the Paris-Henry County Heritage Center, Lee School building and enjoyed an arts and crafts show around the downtown court square.

The highlight of the weekend was attending a banquet at the Paris Convention Center on East Wood Street. There were members from classes starting with Bryant Williams from the Class of 1932 through the last class of 1969.

The Class of 1948 had more members attending the banquet than any other class.
