"Aristocrats" Class of Winter 1960 Is Looking for Classmates

The LHS Aristocrats, Class of Winter 1960, is planning an October 3, 2009 reunion, as I found out while attending the LHS Alumni meeting today. Some members of their class were on the campus this morning working on collecting some video material for their class reunion, as well as getting familiar with some of the changes that have been made since their graduation. I was able to speak with several members of their contingent, learning that a two of their group present went on to become teachers after graduating from Lincoln, teaching at the high school level and above.

Their reunion committee is looking for more class members and you can help in spreading the word to get in touch with their classmates. For a point of reference in history, this is the class that graduated in the same year that John F. Kennedy was elected as the President of the United States, defeating Vice-President Richard M. Nixon, in 1960. So you see, they go back a long way in the history of Lincoln High, pre-dating even the Vietnam war.

A call for help goes out to neighbors, friends and relatives of Lincoln alumni- see if there are LHS class members of this class among them- There are always Lincoln grads around, and you might be surprised if you check with people you encounter to see how many you find, especially from the older part of the L.A. population. There's also those LHS Alumni that we have spread out across the country and beyond, especially during times of war, serving our country.

The CONTACT PERSON for the class is Ben Chu, telephone: (562) 693-4527
