Class of 1959 - On field at halftime
Alumni
On Friday, October 2, 2009, the Class of June 1959 and guests were hosted by Kearny High School administration and given a tour of the school, followed by a casual dinner in the fourth floor library while they watched the Kardinal football team defeat West New York Memorial 40 to 21. During halftime, the classmates were invited onto the field, cheered by the crowd and thanked by the school for two $1,200 scholarships they presented, one to a boy and one to a girl graduate of the Class of June 2009. The scholarships were donated by members of the Class of June 1959 as their way of "reaching across fifty years."
