LHS Class of ‘72 celebrates 50th Reunion
The 1972 graduates of Liberty High School gathered at the Trinity Valley Exposition hospitality facility Saturday evening, September 10th, to celebrate their 50th class reunion. It was a great celebration of friendship and Liberty High School Heritage.
Around 100 attended, which included graduates, spouses, former students, teachers, and coaches. They enjoyed wonderful fellowship and a catered dinner from Courville’s out of Beaumont. Everyone shared life stories, hugs and memories with old friends and remembered the 42 of the class who had passed.
Warmth and friendship were guests at every table.
Panther graduates from all over made the trip back home. The alums even visited with American Field Service student Rocio Alurralde, who made the trip from Venezuela. Rocio still maintains contact and visits several of her former classmates and loves her Liberty Family and community.
