The Galena High School Class of 1968 held their 55th Class Reunion at the Galena Cellars Winery on Saturday, September 16. Classmates enjoyed catching up with old friends and reminiscing about their days together at good old Galena High. The attendees enjoyed many old class pictures and other photos on display. The names of all dearly departed classmates were read in memorial. The class is working on documenting the history of several city and rural schools in the Galena area since they were probably the last class to attend these schools prior to school consolidation in 1957.
