The MVHS Class of ‘72 had their 50 Year Reunion at the First Street Community Center in Mount Vernon on Saturday, July 9.
The day started with 25 class members on a float in the Heritage Days Parade.
There were 68 in the graduating class. 38 class members and many spouses were in attendance for dinner and reconnecting. The conversation was halted to take time to remember 10 classmates who have passed, reading information about each of them accompanied by a slide show of new and old photos. Each graduate left with a memory book packed with bios, photos and memorabilia.
