The Tottenville High Class of 1956 held their 40th Reunion on November 2, 1996 at the Knights of Columbus Hall in Charleston. We had a WONDERFUL time being together.

Since we are beginning to plan our 50th(!) reunion, these pictures found their way to us to remind us of how wonderful it was to renew old friendships and to remember how important these friendships were during our high school years, but even more now.

Our class was so small - 174 students - so we had the privilege of becoming very close and we realized that, even 40 years later, these feelings were still in our hearts.

So now begins the task, however pleasant but certainly time-consuming and difficult, of finding our friends as we begin to plan our 50th Reunion in 2006.

The older we become, the more places we move to, the harder it is to track down people, so if you can help, please e-mail:

or inform any one of the Staff of The Trumpet, who will forward the information to us.
