Linda Ogle, surrounded by memorabilia related to the Class of 1962 at her home in Champaign, is a longtime organizer of reunions for her Urbana High School class. Those items include (clockwise from upper left) a Dog n Suds tray and mugs, a stuffed tiger, Steak 'n Shake dishes, a cookbook featuring recipes from Urbana High alumni, the 1962 Rosemary yearbook, an old typing textbook and saddle shoes.

The classmates meet Saturday night for a reunion at the Laborers Union Hall in Urbana.
