July 7, 2023 - Summer Memories.. The month of July begins with the celebration of 4th of July. Several years ago the beginning of July was reserved for the C. H. Daniels School Alumni Reunion in Center, Texas. Those years are just memories now. With the hard work of the original reunion committee and the energy of the committee that was passed the torch in 2010 after a gap in years, the reunions have been successful. Scholarships were presented to seniors from profits, classmates were brought together, and relatives visited each other from out of town.
The reunions were interrupted with the pandemic. The last Daniels School reunion was in 2019 which was a celebration of 50 years of the school closing as well as the classes 1968 and 1969 50th anniversary. Everyone seemed to enjoy the setting at the local Civic Center and wondered if 2021 would be even better. That year the pandemic was in full force and activities were still limited. No plans were made for this year 2023. Two of the committee members who were great assets to the events have passed on, Imogene Williams and Sandra Lathan.
The committee has concerns to keep the legacy of C.H. Daniels School Reunions alive. It may be time to pass the torch to a younger group, even though they may not be alumni but someone in their family was. Where are the Bobcats? The month of July will be remembered as C.H. Daniels School Reunion month.
Current members: Joyce Johnson, Shirley Hewitt, Juanita Mcclelland, and Joan Garrett
