Classmates reminisce:
Life before
cellphones,

Reunion from Page 1A
Mistress of Ceremony Gloria Stiger Linkey,
class of 1947, noted the distance between their
high school years and present day, addressing
the changes time has brought.
Some people might say they were raised
among disadvantages, she said. There were no
cellphones, no computers and no iPads. Televi-
sion was not yet widespread. Many lived through
ration cards and the Great Depression.
“But were we disadvantaged? No,” Linkey
said. “We were the luckiest generations in the
whole world.”
They developed strong friendships, as evi-
denced “by all you who have come out for this
reunion,” she added.
“We had the best time growing up in Seaside
that any people could have,” Linkey said.
During the program, Terry Dahlgren, the cur-
rent band director at Seaside High School and
Broadway Middle School, presented a slideshow
of band photos starting in the 1940s. The pho-
tographic journey, he said, was a way to share
history and show the audience today’s young
musicians.
Event speaker Jim Auld, class of ‘61, provid-
ed a history of the high school’s Hall of Fame, a
display of student and athletic achievement. In
the early 2000s, a committee was created and the
¿ rst of 106 current members were selected.
Along with athletes, the Hall of Fame rec-
ognizes student-athletes and students noted for
career accomplishments, involvement in the arts
and sciences, meritorious service and military
service. Entire teams have been honored for their
collective success.
The next induction will be in September. Two
teams and seven individuals will be inducted,
Auld said.
Of the graduates gathered for the reunion,
several are included in the school’s Hall of Fame.
Before the event drew to a close, Sally Mc-
Bride, of the class of 1948, and Carlysle Dehner,
of the class of 1950, joined 1950 graduate Patsy
Kerwin onstage to lead the group in singing the
school’s alma mater and of¿ cial ¿ ght song.
The event, organized by Kerwin, marked
“the last huge class reunion” for the graduates of
those particular years. With individuals moving
and advancing in age, it has been increasingly
dif¿ cult to keep track of everyone and gather
a group large enough to make the preparation
worth it, she said.
In her concluding comments, Linkey noted
that fact, as well.
“This is it,” she said.
As the reunion wound down, grads contin-
ued to share memories with friends, including
a trip to the high school’s Hall of Fame and a
visit to the of¿ ce of the Signal, where they could
glimpse the pages from their past.
Dozens of former Seaside High School students gathered at the Seaside Elks Lodge on July 29 for a
fi nal reunion of the classes from 1941 to 1951.
