The year was 1972. Richard Nixon was re-elected President of the United States and then scandalized by Watergate. The Munich Olympics massacre occurred, as did the last Apollo moon mission. Volkswagen’s newest production, “The Bug,” became the rage among auto owners. The video game PONG was first put on the market, McDonald’s introduced the Egg McMuffin and maxi dresses, mini skirts, and knee socks ruled women’s and girls’ fashion choices

It was also the year that 23 seniors from Weston High School walked across the stage to receive their diplomas. 

Why is that something of interest, you ask? 

This past Saturday, May 10th, fifteen members of the Class of ’72 held a reunion, enjoying the opportunity to reminisce and talk about those “good ole days.” What makes the gathering so special is that this is the first reunion the class has ever had. 

Old stories, memories and recollection ruled the day as even though it has been 53 years since they have gotten together as a class it seemed like yesterday once they all got together again. 

Kudo’s to the Weston High School Alumni Association for helping make such a wonderful event happen. 

Better late than never!
