Last Graduating Class of Netcong H.S. Has Reunion
June 20, 1974 saw the end of an era. It was the day the last class graduated from Netcong High School. (After that, area high school students would graduate from Lenape Valley High.) The Netcong High class of 1974 had 94 members; 15 of those have passed away. In September, many of the remaining members of that graduating class will be gathering together for their 50th high school reunion. Recently, former classmates Amanda E. Rush of Netcong, Joe Benvenuto, of Byram, Earl Weaver of Succasunna, and Cindylu Pierce Fitzpatrick, of East Hanover gave a brief glimpse into the history of the school, reminisced a little about their time at Netcong High and shared some advice for recent high school graduates.

I do not believe that is fair or honest.
