Class of '76 Gathers For Reunion

What happens when a group of old friends all find themselves back home in Dexter, and it happens to be a Friday evening, and the Bearcats are playing football in Charles Bland Stadium?

They all head to the football game, of course!

The Dexter High School Class of 1976 is gathering this weekend for its 35^th class reunion this weekend, and a contingent of the class organized and attended the football matchup between the hometown Bearcats and the Malden Green Wave.

With some of the men in their letterman jackets, and at least one lady in her cheerleading uniform, the group entered the gates at Charles Bland Stadium carry signs proclaiming “Class of 1976” and a few cheers of welcome from the hometown crowd and the students  at the game.

Gathering in the north end zone prior to pregame festivities, the group huddled for a photograph amid lots of hugs and greetings and “do you remember me”. The group that had gathered at the flagpole for prayer prior to the game applauded the class as it “tried” to organize for the photograph.

Reunion festivities continue through the weekend, including the reunion dinner at Hidden Trails County Club on Saturday evening.

Welcome Home, Bearcats!
