Class of ‘76 plans 50th reunion
It’s almost time to celebrate for the Denham Springs Class of 1976 — my class.
We were called the Spirit of ‘76 class and everything was red, white in blue in addition to our high school colors. Adults tried to make us understand the importance of celebrating the country’s 200th birthday, but I’m not sure that clicked with a bunch of 17- and 18-year-olds. Now, the Spirit of ‘76 is celebrating as the nation celebrates 250 years.
The event is planned for June 13 at Forrest Grove in Denham Springs.
Reunion organizers are asking classmates to send photos from 1976 and now for a booklet. To volunteer or share your information with the organizers, email daleh76ds@gmail.com.
Congratulations to all the ‘76 graduates celebrating their 50th reunion this year.
