The Senior Class of 1927 from Orlando High School, sometimes called Orlando Senior High School, celebrated many reunions here in Orlando. Robert J. Kieser along with many of his former classmates and his wife Elizabeth S. Stalder (Class of 1930), attended the 50th and 60th Reunions.
The Kieser’s children, Bob Kieser and Betty Jo Stockton, donated the reunion memory books, newspaper clippings, and several editions of Las Memorias yearbooks to the library.
The 50th Reunion edition of Las Memorias includes details of the 1977 event at the Kahler Plaza Hotel and a reprint of the program from the commencement exercises of the June 3, 1927 graduation.
