Chicopee Comprehensive High school class of 1974 celebrates 50th year anniversary

CHICOPEE, Mass. (WWLP) – It was an evening filled with memories and laughter as the 1974 Chicopee Comprehensive High School class celebrated its 50th year anniversary.

It was a large crowd at The Knights of Columbus Hall with dozens eager to relive their high school memories. Some traveled back to Hampden County from as far away as Utah, Montana, and Colorado, to attend. This event, which takes place every five years, serves as a way for the class to come together and strengthen their bonds.

“It’s unbelievable because it doesn’t seem they say I remember Mom saying the time goes by fast. It goes by very fast. But it’s wonderful to see people we have people coming tonight who have never been to a reunion. We have people who have come to every single reunion. So it’s just nice to reconnect with people,” expressed 1974 Chicopee Comprehensive High School Class Officer, Lynn Provost Larrabee.

There was also a table with photos and a display honoring the more than 60 class members who had passed away.
