Publisher’s note: This story originally appeared in the Tuesday, June 3, 2008 edition of the Lassen County Times.
Lassen Union High School alumni from the classes of 1957 through 1970 are invited to a multiyear class reunion held from 4 to 11 p.m. on Saturday, June 21 at Jensen Hall at the Lassen County Fairgrounds.
This photo of a Lassen High School football team shows just how much the game has changed since the 1930s.The event, a repeat of the multi-class reunion held in 1993, is back at the request of many who attended that event. The class of 1963 — celebrating its 45th reunion year — sponsors the reunion. Any member of any other LUHS class is invited to attend.
The cost will be $30 per person or $60 per couple, and the reunion will start at 4 p.m. with a no-host bar. Food will be served from 6 to 8 p.m.
Many old-timers in Susanville will remember the old Lassen High School campus.DJ Rhino will provide music from 8 to 11 p.m. with the music theme being oldies to match the majority of the attendees. Organizers plan to open the event after 8 p.m. at no cost, and they will still do so if enough people attend to cover all the costs. If finances dictate, it will cost $10 per person to come in after 8 p.m.
The dress code for the event is casual. Self-contained RVs are welcome to park in the fairground’s parking lot, and a few spaces with hookups are available on a first-come basis. Be sure to check with the organizers for availability.
This old photograph of the Lassen High School campus was taken before Main Street was paved.There are motels within walking distance, and some are offering discounts for reunion attendees, so be sure to ask. Make your reservations early.
The organizers advise those attending that the third weekend in June will be a busy one in Susanville. In addition to the reunion, there will be the 50th Reunion of the Class of ’58 at the Elks Hall, the Elk Foundation Dinner and Auction at the National Guard Armory, a gymkhana at the fairground’s livestock facilities during the day and the LUHS Alumni Picnic. Many attendees of the evening event may want to attend both the alumni picnic and the reunion.
Things have really changed at the Lassen High School campus since this old photo was taken above Arnold Field.The May 30 registration deadline has been extended until June 7. Most of the members of the all the classes have been contacted, however, organizers have been unable to reach everyone.
