Centralia High School Reunions

65th Reunion of 1961 Tiger Classmates (all who attended our classes throught our 1957 to 1961 years)
Location: Historical Fort Borst Park Kitchen #2
Details: Reminder for 65th Reunion of 1961 CHS Tigers--July 11, 2026
One Last Tiger Roar Before We Gather!
Saturday, July 11, 2026
Fort Borst Park – Kitchen #2 2020 Borst Ave, Centralia, WA 98531
The Tiger Den opens at 12:00 Noon for all classmates and guests.
Setup Tigers arrive at 10:00 a.m.—with cookies, coffee, and tea to help keep their stripes energized!
Your first Tiger stop: Look for Larry Butterfield, who will be there with his Tiger smile to welcome you and point you toward your name tag. For those who mentioned paying at the door, Larry can also take your $18 contribution per person.
Strike a Tiger pose! Michael Roberts—Mike Roberts’ son. 1:00 pm Tiger classmates will begin gathering for our Class of ’61 Group Photo. We hope to finish the picture-taking by about 1:30 p.m., so please arrive by noon to find your name tag, greet old friends, and help us make certain every Tiger classmate is in the picture.
After all, no Tiger should be cropped out of history!
Once the cameras stop clicking, we’ll feed the Tigers! Then comes one of the best parts of the day—sharing a meal, renewing friendships, and enjoying an afternoon filled with memories, music, laughter, and perhaps a few happy tears.
So, dust off one or two favorite stories from the ’50s or ’60s to share with our Program MC, Ron Rogerson, and your fellow Tiger classmates. Don’t worry if you cannot remember every detail—another classmate may chime in, add a missing chapter, or remember the part that makes everyone laugh!
And be ready to roar, sing, cheer, and join in the fun with Penny Kolstad Merriman, Mike Merriman, Mike Roberts, Mike Wheeler, and Frances Rice Tanaka.
Have questions? Call:
Marilyn Watterson Weinstein – (818) 268-6016
Laura Garrison Yocom – (360) 523-4242
See you in the Tiger Den—and remember:
No Tiger Left Behind!
