Class Reunion Poem by Darwin Henry Beuning

Fifty years have passed
Since my graduation from Osakis High

Class of Sixty-Five

I return home again
To walk down memory lane

Class of Sixty-Five

Osakis, my beloved hometown
It has changed so

Mormon missionaires walking down the street
Side by side, greeting everyone they meet

Amish, in horse drawn carriages soon appear
Women and young girls dressed in black

Gillis Drug, now long gone
Augie and Pat, town barbers are no more

Tip Top Dairy Bar, still going strong
Since nineteen fifty-five

Many of my classmates are gone
But, we who remain gather with wine and song

Class of Sixty-Five
