School’s Class of 1960 set to gather

The Pine Bluff High School Class of 1960 will meet at noon Thursday at Wright’s Ranch House, 6224 Dollarway Road.

“Come join us, your fellow classmates, and enjoy good food and fellowship,” a spokesman said.

There was low attendance at the 61st-year class reunion in October, but everyone seemed to enjoy the fellowship with classmates.

Janice Helvie Tiner received a plaque in recognition of her outstanding dedication and commitment of keeping the PBHS class of 1960 connected. She chaired all the reunions except the one in 1990, when her dad was seriously ill, and in 2015.

“It was good to have her with us as she has been unable to attend,” the spokesman said.

Classmates are urged to email any updates on fellow class members to nlrharper@hotmail.com or call (870) 535-0303.
