It was where we came of age.

It was Lake Bomoseen and Lake Dunmore in the summer.  It was the best of high school rivalries and winter snow that never seemed to end.

While RHS and MSJ students may have been rivals, we were, in fact, just teenagers sharing the same music, same movies, the same laughter  --  and maybe even the same dance floor on Friday nights at the Rec Center. 

The details may be fuzzy, but the feeling isn’t — freedom, friendship and the sense that life was just beginning.

And we were growing up during a remarkable moment in time. The Woodstock era. 1969 through 1971. The soundtrack of our lives was shared — The Beatles, Crosby Stills Nash & Young, James Taylor, Carole King, The Doors, Led Zeppelin and so many more.

 

Different schools… same music… same dreams… same generation finding its way forward.

It was also a time before cell phones, before texting, before social media. We actually talked to each other. We met in person. We made plans face to face. We laughed together, debated together and built friendships the old-fashioned way — by simply being together.

Now, 55 years later, the rivalry fades — but the memories grow stronger. The friendships. The laughter. The stories only we understand. This reunion isn’t just about reconnecting with classmates from one school — it’s about celebrating a shared time, shared place and shared journey.

We were two schools.
But we were one community.
One generation.
And one unforgettable time in Vermont.

Join us this July… and come back to where it all began.
