The 2014 JMHS Mega-Reunion II

They came from near, they came from far: to “The John Marshall High School

Mega Reunion,” at RIR.

There were over a thousand Alumni, who came to share

Precious memories of a high school, that was once there.

From 98 years old to 65, Man oh Man! Did they come alive!

Some in wheel chairs, some on walkers and canes;

With a youthful sparkle in their eyes, they forgot about the pain.

They sang the old fight songs, ate a good meal; they hugged and reminisced.

Some even recalled their very first kiss.

Fellowship and Love, Yes that old high school spirit, was certainly still there.

Those very special memories; they were all willing to share.

When “The Jayem Alumni Band” proudly marched in; we felt we were

Standing on the corner of 8th. and Marshall St. watching them go by, once again.

We did the patriotic things, that we should ever do;

We prayed to Almighty God and pledged allegiance, to the Red, White and Blue.

We saluted our service men and women, one and all;

We paid homage to those, who had answered God’s call.

We humbly thank all of those, for the hard work they have done.

“The 2014 Mega Reunion”, was a great success;

It was truly awesome and we all had fun.
