Pocahontas High School Memories The Pocahontas graduating class of 1959 held its 50th reunion with a breakfast at Ryans in Bluefield, Va on October 10, 1959. Games were played and prizes were won by several classmates. We also learned that the smell in the halls at the school were not caused, by someone who had eaten too many beans or rotten eggs in someone's locker, but was caused by one Denny Presley letting propane gas leak in the Lab. It is really interesting what you find out at these reunions. Some of us managed to keep our secrets safe for now. It was cold and raw that Saturday, but a few of us brave souls walked around  Pocahontas, and talked about then and now, and attended the Pumpkin Festival on Peel Chestnut Mountain. I really enjoyed seeing all my classmates and will just say "Let's  do it again!"   P.S  It may also be noted that Gordon Gillespie's wife gave birth when she was age 50. A mighty handsome lad he is.
