Somers High School till 1957, then Cedar Valley High School till -?. These walls would have so many tales to tell. Too bad that it has now been totally removed from the earth, but never from the minds of the people who attended.

I went to kindergarten in this building in 1960. Then the rest of elementary school in Farnhamville. Middle school in Rinard and then back to this building in Somers for high school.

Had some softball games there, must have been little league. There was a pop machine in front and i think it was like 25 cents to get a "glass" bottle of pop. wasn't there a "double wide" behind it to for band lessons not long before it was torn down (which might now be the concessions stand at the middle school?

The last graduating class from the Somers school was 1979.

I was one of the students "Class of 79" to graduate from Cedar Valley High School. We all had a blast that last year!
If I remember correctly, the majority of the time there were just over 120 students attending this Freshman thru Senior (4 grades) high school. The two largest class sizes I believe was our senior class which had 31 graduating in 1979 and 37 graduating in 1977.

I went to this school and had a lot a great memories there. I graduated in 1977 with Pat Barnes, Bonnie Barnett, Tim Zech, Julie Hicks, Theresa Schuleger, Kevin Martin, Brent Black, Terry Pingel, Carlen Rodewald, Sheri Bendickson, Kathy Hansen, Steve Hanson, Galen Hiveley, Wayne Wolf, Lynn Jones, Vicki Board, Brenda Graffunder, Bill James, Jerry McGuire, Julie Morgan, Terri Brand, Beth Hendrickson, Duane Clearwater, Myself and Kathi Fowler, Diane Gutshall, Deb Collins, Brian Moeller, Tom Sweeney, Diane Haberal, Tom Peterson, Don Weston, Phillip Thomas, Deb Olson and I am missing the rest - sorry can someone help me with the rest of my classmates.

Thank you for your comment Karri Fowler-George! Great memories! I was in the class of 1980 I went there Freshman and Sophomore years. Made lifelong friends here. Some of MY best years we're spent in this building!

Wow brings back alot of memories.......
Could talk about the classes or getting run over in football practice and even racing the girls track team....
But I for one am glad those walls couldn't talk lmao but i remember some hand holding and a little kissing going on.

I am Alan Cady and my family had the restaurant in Farnhamville in 64 and 65. I attended Somers High School in 64 before joining the Navy. I would like to know if there will be another reunion. I live in McAlester OK and am a dentist.I graduated from Iowa Dental College in 1977.

Alan Cady the info for class reunions is on Facebook "10,000 memories of Cedar Valley" I think it will be another couple of years for the all school reunion

Class of 1974. Wow does that bring back a lot of great memories! Is that smoke coming from Dan Lauter's porch behind the evergreen trees? Nah, must be imagining things...
