It was 50 years ago when the class of 1974 at Lakewood High School graduated the Cleveland west-side suburb of Lakewood, Ohio. We had over 800 in our class. We attended classes in a factory with a population over 3,000 when you add students and staff for the freshmen, sophomore, junior and senior class.
The reunion committee pulled out all the stops and contracted with a venue, The Music Box, that allowed for food, drink, conversation and live music on the Cuyahoga River in the Cleveland flats. Alum Christopher Galloway focused his band on a music mix that was ideal for all to dance and sometimes sing along. The Mommas and the Pappas (California Dreaming), Neal Diamond (Sweet Caroline), The Rolling Stones and more. It was perfect for our generation to travel back in time.
