Millard Lefler 70th Anniversary

It was a great turnout on September 12 for the Lefler 70th Celebration. (Same date as we started there in 1956.) Students and faculty, both former and present, attended along with parents and others. Hallways were full with people looking for old classrooms and finding blue lockers instead of the pink ones we had. Several new building changes since we attended: Cafeteria, Gyms, Bathrooms, Parking Lot, Library Media Center and second classroom wing. Food trucks, student music, reunions and many, many smiles created a wonderful evening.

At the June 5 LHS Monthly Dinner, results of the reunion survey was the main topic of discussion.Thanks to the (41) classmates who provided survey feedback. You overwhelmingly said to keep it accessible, affordable and simple so the "committee" (dinner attendees) decided not to use the Embassy Suites and to look for a hotel/motel with party room possibilities that could handle us hanging around for an afternoon and early evening with a catered meal. They didn't discuss finding a breakfast venue for the overnighters and early birds but it can still happen if there is interest. Sound good? Tell us what you think in the Message Forum, left tab. Be sure to save it.
