We've Got Legs and We're Still Standing! NPHS Classes of 1968 and 1969 Hold Reunion October 6, 2018.

More than 175 classmates from the North Plainfield High School classes of 1968 and 1969 attended their reunion on the night of Oct. 6, 2018, at the Beaver Brook Country Club in Annandale, NJ.  It was largest dual reunion the two classes ever had since they began holding them together in 2004.  The event also marked the 50th anniversary for the class of 1968.

The night was misty and a thin fog enveloped the Country Club but spirits were not dampened as the warm night air was punctured by gusts of laughter, loud conversation and class rock music.  The evening featured a live DJ, photo booth, and an extensive NPHS memorabilia display plus a hot buffet dinner, warm memories and cold beer.   The only thing missing was a live performance by Bruce Springsteen.

The festivities continued until almost midnight.  The traditional Reunion after-party was held in the room of Roger and Adrienne Graubard at the Holiday Inn Clinton where most overnighters stayed.  At 8:00 on the morning of October 7, bleary-eyed party-goers staggered to the hotel dining room for breakfast to reminisce more. Linda Shebey Leugers made the grandest entrance of the morning in her maroon gym class jumpsuit which will surely be the next big fashion trend coming out of Paris in 2019.  

PHOTOS FROM THE EVENING WILL BE POSTED BEGINNING OCTOBER 8 OR 9. WATCH THIS SPACE!
