The Malad High School Class of 1969 held its 55th class reunion on Saturday, September 28, 2024, with 32 class members present.  The event was held in Malad Middle School where Marla Jones served a baked chicken dinner.

Along with visiting, class members and guests had a chance to reminisce about the 23 class members who have passed away, peruse memorabilia from their school years, and look at a display of magazine pictures depicting events from 1969 that was prepared by Lael Christophersen. 

With Stella Sandquist as emcee, the program began with small ceramic dragons and the orange and black wooden floral centerpieces awarded as prizes during a quiz about events and people important to the class.  The main part of the program was a video prepared by John Moss. Pictures of those who have passed away brought back memories, especially one of Stan Palmer singing. Each member of the class had sent in photos, and the video progressed through all members of the class, ending with the demolition of the old high school, which this class attended. The program concluded with everyone singing the high school song, accompanied by Janice Palmer.

Almost all class members and guests then drove to the current elementary school where Superintendent Jon Abrams guided tours. The Class of 1969 was the fourth class to enter the current school that was built in 1954 and that will be demolished in the spring of 2025. The class then toured the new elementary school and were impressed by the layout, size of classrooms, security provisions, and construction plans.
