I wrote this little poem for all of my classmates as we approach the 40th anniversary of our graduation, and I thought I would share it with my good friends here at Sheptalk. Even though I wrote it for my own graduating class, I'll bet the sentiments I express in those verses are shared by you good people who come here to reminisce.
We will be having a 40th class reunion August 3rd thru August 5th this summer.

Friends Forever, The Class of 67
By Tom Johnson, 8/9/06
We remember with fondness
Our days at Hammond High
Can it be that forty years
Have gone so quickly by?
Does not our laughter yet echo
Through those hallowed halls?
Shouted greetings to our friends
Within those strong brick walls
We each had our hopes,
And we all had our dreams
So eager, so anxious,
We were bursting at the seams
We were imbued with the love
Of our moms and our dads,
Their hopes pinned upon us,
They'd given the best they had
Life took us each
Our own separate ways
But now we look back
On those sweet childhood days
The years have flown by,
As if in a blur
And it's time now to remember
What good friends we were
You are my classmate,
And I love you, my friend.
How good it would be
To grow up with you all over again.
Yes, we grew up together
In the same time and place,
And the memories of you
Put a smile on my face.
Your face looks up at me
From the yearbook page
And for just a few moments
We are once again that age.
Most are still here
But some are in Heaven
Together we stand,
The Class of 67
A 1967 Graduate of Hammond High who cherishes his memories of growing up in the Hammond of the 1950's and 1960's. Bring back those days!
