Princess Anne High
School Class of 1960
50th Reunion
(Go Back to PAHS60 Data Base)
Dear Classmate,
The 50th reunion will be held 1-3
October 2010 in Virginia Beach, VA.
We have made arrangements with the Westin
Virginia Beach Town Center Hotel, 4535 Commerce St., 757-557-0550,
http://westin.com/virginiabeachtowncenter. Class of 1960 members will receive a
special $119 a night room rate for that weekend by calling the hotel anytime
prior to 1 September 2010.
The cost per person is $75 per person.
That will cover the Saturday 2 October 7PM to 12PM reunion dinner/dance
expenses (10,000 square feet banquet hall rental, dinner buffet, two cash bar
bartenders, and a DJ), costs of snacks/drinks at the 37th floor owner's lounge
hospitality suite on Friday 1 October and Saturday 2 October, and mailing costs
associated with finding and informing classmates. We have arranged with an
outside company to send a photographer to the dinner/dance to take pictures and
create a color reunion booklet with those pictures and others we submit. The
reunion booklet will then be available to all (attending or not) for $25. An additonal black/white roster with contact data, yearbook
pictures, current pictures, and bio will be available for $10. If you haven't
already done so, please mail (3156 Gallahad Drive, Virginia Beach, VA) or email
(myers.russel@gmail.com) a current
picture and summary of what you have been doing since 1960 to Russ for the
reunion booklets. The web site roster will remain active for those who have the
capability to print from the web site. Pictures of the reunion will be added to
the web site.
The reunion activity schedule is as follows:
The dress code for the dinner dance is known as "dressy
casual". We found the definition on the web:
What is Dressy Casual For Men?
Many people do not consider jeans to be a part of dressy casual attire, but if
the pair of jeans looks simple yet elegant, it can be worn. The best method for
men to conform to dressy casual attire is by wearing a jacket or an over-coat
along with a pair of jeans or khaki trousers. It is advisable not to wear a
tie, as that makes the look very formal. An open collared shirt would suit most
men very well.
Another option for men is to wear a sophisticated open-collared shirt without a
jacket, and wear a comfortable pair of trousers along with that. Try to avoid
loafers and sandals for footwear. Men can also try wearing a turtleneck
sweater. To complete the look, it is recommended to shave and to get a haircut
as well.
What is Dressy Casual For Women?
For dressy casual, it is required that women sport some accessories and appear
well-coordinated. Slacks and a silk shirt along with that, would help pull off
a casual yet semi-formal look. Wearing a pant suit would also be considered
appropriate for women. Women should strictly avoid low-cut tops or t-shirts and
like men, should stay away from t-shirts that have messages printed across
them. Instead, women can opt for shirts or blouses or pretty much anything that
does not look too shabby and does not reveal much skin. For accessories, long
bead necklaces are a great tool, and great make up can finally complete the
entire look in a more than satisfactory manner. Women should also avoid long
flowing formal gowns or cocktail dresses, as these would be considered overly
formal for the occasion.
For such a dress code, women must look to wear what they would usually wear to
work, but a little more informal. Skirts are also great to pull off this look,
but short skirts must be avoided. Tying a scarf around the neck also
complements to the dressy casual look perfectly. Extremely high heels or stilettoes must be avoided, and instead women should wear
semi-formal heels or flats.
As attendees register for the reunion at the Westin hotel
hospitality suite on Friday or Saturday, we will have sign up sheets for
"birds of a feather" lunch on Saturday or breakfast on Sunday (e.g.,
band members, jocks, cheerleaders, golfers, or just old friends who have stayed
in touch). The Saturday lunch and Sunday breakfast events will be
self-organized and self paid. There is also the possibility of a golf outing on
Sunday.
If you plan to attend, send your money to Jack Nichols, the
reunion treasurer, as soon as possible. Make checks payable to “PAHS Reunion
50”. Mail your $75 per person payment to:
