KHS65 - what do the numbers mean?

I was just roaming around in my brain, after reading quite a bit online about Her Majesty's Jubilee activities, and got to thinking about the numbers.  Sunday is June 10th, the 47th anniversary of our graduation.  Most of us in the class of 1965 were born in 1947, so this is a significant year, even if not a milestone anniversary year.  Then there is the fact that those same 1947 babies in the Class of 1965 are turning 65 this year, some of us won't have that joy until much later in the year while some already have become 65 of course.  Saturday I'll be 64.5, always a milestone for me.  I always remember because two special friends of mine have June 9th birthdays.  When my kids were little we celebrated their half-birthdays sometimes, especially if we needed a reason to celebrate something.  Numbers can be fascinating, their interrelationships, their regularity and their complexity.  I think those same words apply to us members of KHS65.  Here's another visual reminder of numbers, it appears there were quite a few more white caps and gowns (females) than the males in red in our class - wonder how these numbers impacted our social lives?  And were there enduring ramifications of those experiences...too many girls, not enough guys?  Maybe all of these numbers are meaningless, but fun to think about maybe, no?  The bottom line is, as I am continually reminded, we can't think about the numbers too much, it'll drive us crazy.  We are who we are, and by golly, we're aging, and in my humble opinion most of us are doing it quite gracefully and with great style, as we have done so much throughout our Babyboomer lives!  So, no, we can't let the numbers get us down, but we can play with them and enjoy the looking back.  Have a great Sunday, and try to spend some time having some Thursday, June 10, 1965 memories interspersed with your Sunday June 10, 2012 activities. ENJOY - send someone a yellow rose, the traditional sign of friendship, and our class flower!  You should be able to rightclick this rose and capture it to send to your friends.
