The 55th reunion for the Colby High School class of 1958 was held August 17, at the VFW Hall in Colby. The 1958 class was the first class to graduate from the new Colby High School building in the spring of 1958.

At the social hour, many memories and laughs were shared. The delicious meal was provided by Amber’s Café of Colby.
