The Lucknow Sentinel, 2016-10-05, Page 5Wednesday, October 5, 2016 • Lucknow Sentinel 5 www.lucknowsentinel.com Over 100 join together to mark 8th Lucknow & District High School Reunion Over 100 former students of Lucknow & District High School gathered at the home of Barry and Gladys Johnston for a pig roast to mark the 8th reunion recently. "It was a perfect day for it," said former LDHS student Donna Moffatt. "Everybody mingled and moved from picnic table to picnic table. There were a lot of pictures and yearbooks - it was a good turnout." People enjoyed the pig roast and made a point to catch up with old friends and classmates during the Sunday, September 4, 2016 event. The weather could not have been more perfect for an afternoon of visiting and reminiscing. The attendees flipped through old year books looking at their class photos. Jim Watson welcomed every- one and asked that they provide their email addresses in order to assist the invitation com- mittee who volunteered for the 2018 Lucknow Reunion. He thanked the hosts for making the day possible. Everyone enjoyed the delicious pork, corn on the cob, sal- ads and desserts. It is planned to have the next High School reunion at the same time as the Luc - know reunion. The home- work assignment was to provide ideas to make the next gathering memorable. Old photos and memora- bilia will be collected to put on display for everyone to enjoy. Moffatt said the event was originally started by a group of Holyrood students and grew to include the entire region, taking place about every two years. The last year of the Luc - know High School, now Luc - know Central Public School, was the class of 1967-1968. Submitted Lucknow High School Reunion was held at Barry Johnston's Farm at the beginning of September 2016. Over 100 former students from Lucknow and District High School took part in the event, sharing photos, stories and friendship.
