Class of ’74: 50 Years On
A — n excited crowd of sixty-somethings squeezed into a Mt. Lebanon High School hallway on a cloudy June day. They were too old to be students’ parents, and perhaps a bit too young to be their grandparents. But in any case, the men in golf shirts and women in summer dresses weren’t there to serve as the doting older generation. It was the first event of their 50th reunion weekend, and they were there to re-discover themselves, the class of 1974, long-haired skinny kids in platform shoes and bell bottoms who walked these halls more than 50 years ago.

Steelers’ Zach Frazier Ready To Threaten Nate Herbig For Starting Job When The Pads Go On
