Beverly Hills High School A Toast to the Class of 1984 Dear Fellow Normans, It is hard to believe that 30-years has passed by since we graduated from Beverly Hills High School. The reunion was a wonderful night reminiscing with old friends. It seems a lifetime ago and just like it was yesterday. We bonded over fond memories, made new memories, rekindled old friendships and shared where our paths had taken us. It was a real evening of celebration! The night was dedicated to our dear friends no longer with us and we cherish the impressions they left behind in our hearts! For those of you that could not attend, we sincerely missed you and we hope you will join us at the next reunion. Our goal was to connect with as many alumni as possible and we hope to see event more of the class the next time we gather. Please update your contact information with the B.H.H.S. Alumni Association as well as on our Facebook group page https://www.facebook.com/groups/BH84Reunion/. We celebrated with over 225 classmates in attendance which was over a third of our class so kudos to you all for coming out! I hope our special night was more than you hoped for. We ate, danced, drank, reminisced and celebrated our coming together 30-years later. Much love, happiness and success until we gather together again!

I'll never forget the first time we met; At our next get-together, no one cared whether We tried so hard to impress. They impressed their classmates or not. We drove fancy cars, smoked big cigars, The mood was informal, a whole lot more normal; And wore our most elegant dress. By this time we'd all gone to pot. It was quite an affair; the whole class was there. It was held out-of-doors, at the lake shores; It was held at a fancy hotel. We ate hamburgers, coleslaw, and beans. We wined, and we dined, and we acted refined, Then most of us lay around in the shade, And everyone thought it was swell. In our comfortable T-shirts and jeans. The men all conversed about who had been first By the fortieth year, it was abundantly clear, To achieve great fortune and fame. We were definitely over the hill. Meanwhile, their spouses described their fine houses Those who weren't dead had to crawl out of bed, And how beautiful their children became. And be home in time for their pill. The homecoming queen, who once had been lean, And now I can't wait; they've set the date; Now weighed in at one-ninety-six. Our fiftieth is coming, I'm told. The jocks who were there had all lost their hair, It should be a ball, they've rented a hall And the cheerleaders could no longer do kicks. At the Shady Rest Home for the old. No one had heard about the class nerd Repairs have been made on my hearing aid; Who'd guided a spacecraft to the moon; My pacemaker's been turned up on high. Or poor little Jane, who's always been plain; My wheelchair is oiled, and my teeth have been She married a shipping tycoon. boiled; And I've bought a new wig and glass eye. The boy we'd decreed "most apt to succeed" Was serving ten years in the pen, I'm feeling quite hearty, and I'm ready to party While the one voted "least" now was a priest; I'm gonna dance 'til dawn's early light. Just shows you can be wrong now and then. It'll be lots of fun; But I just hope that there's one Other person who can make it that night.
