Spring has sprung ... just not the day quoted in last week’s column. The first day of spring was last Sunday. What beautiful weather we had.

Members of the graduating class of 1961 of old Buda High School have been working on plans for their 50th reunion. Since the ’61 class was small in number, they have also invited the classes of 1960 and 1962 to join in their celebration. The reunion will be held on Friday, April 8 at the Ruby Ranch Lodge starting at 6 p.m. All classmates have been contacted and the hope is that all will be able to attend. If more information is needed concerning the reunion of the classes, contact local Buda resident Wesley Roach at 312-4073.
The next day, Saturday, April 9, the annual Buda High School reunion for all years of the graduating classes will be held at the old high school. The doors of the old high school, now Buda Elementary School, will open for Buda High Forever Bulldogs at 9 a.m. There will be lots of visiting along with a silent auction, raffle of a beautiful hand-made quilt, barbeque lunch at noon catered by Wilhite’s in Creedmoor, followed by more visiting and a program in which the classes of 1931, 1941, 1951 and 1961 will be honored.
