Process Server Helps Plan 50th High School Reunion

Fiftieth high school reunions used to be few and far between.

That's not exactly the case in the Inland Valley as more and more local high schools are rounding up old classmates and celebrating their memories. Still, the recent reunion of the Upland High School Class of 1958 was pretty special.

For the once-young students in that 250-member class, it was more than just remembering graduation. That class was the very first one at the Foothill Boulevard school and because of that, those students were in on the ground floor of creating a proud legacy - everything from selecting the school's colors (green and white) to picking its mascot (Highlanders) to deciding on a poignant alma mater.

Jeanette Amberson, a member of the class, wrote the school song at home seated in front of her piano because, she said, somebody had to.

So when the reunion committee started taking the bull by the horns in May, it wasn't surprising that the Class of 1958 rose to the challenge, again.
