Centenary class of 1964 to celebrate at Pearson

PREPARATIONS are well under way for Pearson High School's reunion weekend in May, with the celebrations promising to be a memorable occasion for those attending.

The reunion will primarily focus on the class of 1964, who will be celebrating their 50th year out of high school with a number of fun-filled events.

The May 9 and 10 weekend will kick off with a Deary Day assembly on the Friday.

This will be followed by a tour of the school and later a tea for past pupils and teachers, where they can relax and reminisce about the good old days.

On the Friday afternoon, the 50-year reunion class will get to visit the school's old premises in Mount Croix – which is now occupied by Erica Primary School. The group will gather at Pearson's sports fields the following morning to enjoy a game between Pearson and Alexander Road High School.

This will be followed by a teacher and former pupil get-together in the foyer.

Former Pearson teachers are also invited to attend the assembly and enjoy tea thereafter.

To end off the reunion, the classes of 1984, 1994 and 2004 will join the celebration at a dinner in the school's main hall on Saturday evening.

The dinner will cost old Pearsonites R220 per head and R440 if a partner is brought along. A cash bar will be available.

Bookings for the reunion can be made at the school. Payment by April 11 secures bookings.

Don't miss out on this chance to catch-up with your old school mates. - Chanice Koopman
