Graduating Class of 1986 25 Year Class Reunion

Let us greet our dear old high school

With a hearty cheer

For our hears are ever loyal

Alma Mater dear

We’re the students of old Rossville

High School good and true

With our faces all set onward

Hail to white and blue

Broad the fields about us lying

Soft and blue the sky

Sing oh sing aloud her praises

Raise her flag on high

Our strong bonds can ne’er be broken

Sealed with friendship ties

Our true hears will ever cherish

Memories gone by

Welcome Back

Welcome fellow graduates of

Rossville High School Class of

1986!

It’s hard to believe it has been 25

years since we walked across the

stage in the school gym, but it’s

great to look back and see how far

we have come.

The journey from uncertain teen-

agers to parents, teachers,

coaches, professionals and con-

tributing members of society has

led us to this moment. This week-

end is a time to reminisce, relax,

and rejoice with your former

classmates.

Over the past 25 years, we have

all experienced our share of joy

and sorrow, success and failure.

Some of us may have found our

calling easily, while others are still

searching for their path in life.

This is a time to share those times

in our lives with our group.

We hope everyone enjoys friendly

faces, familiar places, and perhaps

a tear or two as we relive our

years at “our dear old high

school”.
