Bea Green, Sandra Young, Janey Fant and Phoebe Stewart spent Friday night at Pickwick with former Holly Springs resident, Betty Knight.

April and Aaron Valentine and children, Joley Ann and Arin Leigh, and Caitlyn Brooks just returned from a long weekend in Heber Springs, Ark.. They spent most of their time on the boat on the water and jumping off of cliffs into the water. A wonderful time was had by all!

Saturday night, the Holly Springs Country Club was jumping with graduates from Holly Springs High School dating back as far as 1963. The “host class” was that of 1966. Those members passed along the word to other graduates that they were having their 40th reunion and if anyone from other classes wanted to join in on the fun, they were more than welcome. Locals from that era attended, as well as a lot of out of towners. Those from out of town who attended are listed by their graduating year: Class of ’68 - Lois Slayden Jones; Class of ’66 - Tolly McClatchy, Diann Vanlandingham Brown, Wilson Golden, Jean Phillips Rather, George Rather, Judy Phillips Milam, Jeanie Miller Williams, Nancy Thomas Coffler, Mike Durham, Mary Carolyn Crowe Wilkins, Ashby Campbell, David Childers, Mahon Jones, Rebecca Roebuck Allen and Judy Thompson Weatherly; Class of ’65 - Dorothy Ann Forrester Criddle, Joy Morgan Whitehead, Betty Brown McAlexander Powell, Richard Crowe and Bill Cline; Class of ’64 - Billy Brown, Mike Powell, Sandra Atkinson Cline and Craig Kidd; Class of ’63 - Roy Allen.
