 On Monday, October 4^th, in the afternoon the class made a visit to the Wasioto Baptist Church at Pineville where one of their former school mates, Robie Walters, is the Minister. Robbie was having services upstairs when the class arrived, and the class gathered in the basement of the Church.  After the church services, Robie joined the 1960 Class for a luncheon, and old times were talked about.  Robie was glad to see, and visit with all of his former class mates.

 On Tuesday, October 5^th, the class went to the Black Star Holiness Church for a dinner.  The dinner was held in the recreation room of the church.  The recreation room was full, there were Black Star students from other Black Star classes present, and many teachers present that had taught at Black Star.  While visiting at Black Star some of the group visited the Alva Memorial Gardens, and the old Black Star School grounds. 

 On Wednesday afternoon October 6^th, the Black Star Class of 1960 50^th Banquet Dinner was held in the Ray Harm Room.  Wendell Johnson opened the program by welcoming everyone.  The special memorial speaker was Kenneth Green, the Invocation was given by Melvin Burnett, the special program directors were Nancy Powell, and June Burnette.  The guest speaker at the dinner was former Black Star Teacher Huey Cornelius.  Also present was former Black Star Teacher Mrs. Sylvia Burnette who was having a Birthday.  The Black Star Class presented her with a Birthday Cake.
