The Class of ’59 Gratefully acknowledges the dedication, time, and effort that the Brothers of Christian Instruction and the Notre Dame Parish have donated in providing us with a solid and outstanding education at Prevost High that would be the cornerstone of our future lives and careers. We also appreciate all the work provided by the members of the Msgr. Prevost High Alumni Association Reunion Committee in making this reunion, this night, this gathering of so many classes possible year after year and especially this year of our 50th Graduation Anniversary. And a big thanks to the Maple Leaf staff for the bi-annual publication of the fine Alumni Association newsletter. ~ End ~
