Graduates unite again

Graduates of the old Laketon and Noxen High schools gathered for the seventh consecutive year to celebrate their high school days. This year, 93 participants enjoyed a day of reminiscing at the Harveys Lake Beach Club picnic pavilion (formerly Old Sandy Bottom Beach.) Sisters Tanya Kocher Christ, ’57, and Carlene Kocher McCafrrey, ’56, have been organizing the all-school reunion for the past seven years. Each year, members of the graduating class of 50 years ago are given special recognition.

Clyde Martin, ‘57 and Don Kocher, ’59, old friends from the Laketon and Noxen High Schools, meet up at their annual reunion.
