Lakeland High School
Class of '75
50th Reunion Weekend
I hope you will all agree that our reunion was a resounding success. Our special thanks to Annette and other committee members who tirelessly worked to bring this event to its successful fruition. In the coming days we will work together to gather as many of the pictures as we can and post them in various places so that everybody will have access to them.
It was wonderful to see so many people that have not been able to attend previous reunions. To those who couldn't attend, you were all sorely missed.
Safe travels to all,
Jim
For nostalgias sake, this is what you missed:
LHS CLASS OF ’75 50th REUNION WEEKEND PLANS:
Friday October 10, 2025
Sadly, Homecoming was NOT scheduled for this weekend as it has in the past. Please schedule, or reschedule your lodging, if you can, to take this into account.
Saturday October 11, 2025
6 p.m.
Please plan to meet at the front doors of our alma mater at 6:00 PM to tour the high school and new sport complex, the theater, the Memorial Walk, (We have a paver there representing our class!) and the "new" wing. The LHS principal, Chris Cummings. is graciously welcoming us back to school and is planning for some students to take us on a tour of the building. Much has changed and some has remained... like our class mural! This is quite exciting as some others have not survived.
7:30 p.m.
