1961 - '50 YEARS ON REUNION'

8/4/2011

A 50th Class Year Reunion will be held on Friday 30 September - Sunday 2 October 2011 for the Class Year of 1961 which will see many Old Boys return to the school to reconnect with their alma mater.

Reunions have been very successful at the school since 2005 with decade reunions having now been held for the 1920’s, 1930’s, 1940’s. Class Year Reunions have been held for 1955, 1956, 1957, 1958, 1959 and 1960 with the 1962 boys getting together in 2007 along with 1964-67 year groups.

However, the1961 Class year is yet to meet so the Foundation is excited about bringing this group back together.

If you started Otago Boys’ High School in the 3rd form during this year make contact with the Foundation office to register your interest to attend.

Class of 1961 – 50th Reunion

The year which saw the baby boom peak with 65,000 babies being born in New Zealand. It was the end of capital punishment in New Zealand although the cane was still being flung by Rector Edward (Teddy) Aim, and the first Golden Kiwi Ticket was sold. But it was the year those in the Class Year of 1961 started at OB’s and it is time to bring you all back.

As the song says:

Ten, twenty, thirty, forty, fifty years ahead

When others shall be singing here where once our voices led

Shall memory rise and call to mind the days that long have sped

As the years go rolling by.

The years have rolled by so time to refresh the memory and reconnect with your old

school friends….
