The Colby High School class of 1960 held their 10-year class reunion Saturday evening, September 5, 1970, at the United Church of Christ dining hall.

Master of ceremonies, Terry Zrutskie, welcomed the guests, classmates and their spouse, and then related to them some of the changes which have taken place with the Colby school district, as well as the community of Colby (Clark Co., Wis.).

After classmates introduced themselves and their spouses or friends, a moment of silence was held in memory of Jerry Kiviko.

Letters from those who could not attend were read.

Introduced as honored guests were Mr. and Mrs. Doug Page of West De Pere. Mr. Page is a former coach and instructor at Colby. They both shared many memories of their years in Colby.

Prizes were awarded to Sandra (Erickson) Luzinski for making the earliest reservation and coming the longest distance, Dennis Schmidt for having the youngest baby, Dennis Winkler for least amount of hair, Bill Rachu as the male with the longest hair, and Theresa (Smudde) Baehler for the shortest skirt.

A brief business meeting was held to appoint a chairman for the 15-year reunion. Ronald Meyer was unanimously selected.
