ANNOUNCEMENTS

Welcome to the Official LHS Class of 1961 Website

Since 2009 - over 279,400 Visits

••••

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. We'll meet again at The Eatery, July 10, the 2nd Thursday at 4:30. We have to vacate by 6:45 pm.

LET'S GO 1961 LINKS!

Scroll down to see the June 5, 2025 LHS Monthly Dinner Photos at The Eatery. Thanks Janell. The June 11, Guys Dinner photo is also posted. Thanks Steve. Plan on coming to the Thursday July 10 Dinner, NOT July 3, the first Thursday due to the July 4th weekend. Next up is the LHS Ladies Lunch at Cheddar's, 11:30 am on June 19th.

These are fun, very informal gatherings. We'd love to have you come!

We’d like your help!

PLEASE pass along addresses, emails, cell phones, land lines and health status regarding our LHS classmates.  Any phone calls you would like us to make, we will do gladly.  

It has always been the goal to compile a complete class list.  All LHS students who attended LHS for part or all of the years of fall 1958 through spring 1961.  This list appears on this website under “Classmate Profiles”.  For most we have their address.  But never sure if we’re current.  So please, pass along what you know.  Any name with no symbol following it, is a classmate who has not joined the website.

Future LHS Class of 1961 Reunion plans will be sent via U.S. Mail to everyone for whom we have an address. The LHS Class of 1961 website may be accessed by any classmate with an email address.  To join the website click on your name under "Classmate Profiles" and follow the directions.  Much more class information is available and shared regularly on the website for those who would like to use it.  

Click "Contact Us" - on the right, top of page.

Thank you!
