“This is the BIG ONE! The Golden Anniversary of our High School Graduation,” event organizers wrote in a press release. “It’s definitely time to reconnect, reminisce, and ‘catch up’ on those 50 years.

“The committee has been working hard to plan an exciting and fun weekend for all of us. We are planning a 4-day celebration to commemorate this momentous occasion.”

In the midst of the Reunion Weekend festivities are the AHS Homecoming parade and football game on Friday, Oct. 13. The Class of 1973 will have a float in the Homecoming Parade this year, which classmates can follow to the stadium after an informal get-together planned at Johnson’s Corner at 5:00 p.m.

Once the float passes by around 6 p.m., those interested can follow the float on foot to the stadium for the game, which starts at 7 p.m. At halftime, classmates will leave for the mixer at the Post Commons.
