Tuesday, Sept. 3, 1963 was the date we started as sophomores at Lakes High School

We, Lakes High School Class of 1966, graduated June 8, 1966. June 8th of this year will be the 50th anniversary of our graduation. That’s what we’re celebrating Friday, Sept. 9, 2016, with a tour of Lakes High School and Saturday, Sept. 10, 2016, with our class 50-year reunion dinner and program at the Emerald Queen Hotel in Fife. Let’s remember another date. Most of us attended Lakes all three class (sophomore/10th grade, junior/11th grade and senior/12th grade) years. It’s assumed (if you know for sure, tell us!) we started classes as sophomores at Lakes High School on Tuesday, Sept. 3, 1963, because Monday, Sept. 2 was Labor Day 1963 holiday. Thus, on Sept. 3, 2016, it’ll be 53 years since we started as sophomores at Lakes. We knew (so to speak) nothing when we started as sophomores. Conversely, when we graduated we knew everything!
