Good Ol’ Times: Class of 1953 celebrates 70th reunion

Cliff Williams / The Tribune Members of the Tallassee High School Class of 1953 met at Cozumel recently for the 70th class reunion. Dot Ballard said 18 classmates are still alive, having lost 71 and for unaccounted for.

A lot has happened in the last 70 years.

There was the first moon landing in 1969. Phones went from having cords to wireless to being completely mobile. Slide rules are now artifacts. Polio was defeated. DNA was cracked. Digital watches were invented. Space stations have been put in orbit. And the Tallassee High School Class of 1953 graduated.
