These photos show friendships first formed in Durant High School by members of the class of 1956. Imagine that; friends and buddies for over 50 years. These friends have met year after year in Oklahoma, Texas, Mexico, and Nevada just to visit or to go fishing.

The past several years they have met in Port Aransas, Texas for the annual fishing trip in mid-September to go fishing, visiting, and enjoying each other's cooking. They plan to continue these outings for many years to come!

The class of 1956 was the last class to graduate from Durant High School when it was located on North 5th St.
