Juanita Collake Oliver said the 1950s were “fun, clean years,” and getting to relive the memories each year at the East Lake Junior High School Reunion makes them even sweeter.
The 2008 reunion, the oldest and one of the few in the city for junior high schools, was held Saturday at East Lake Park.
The school annually draws people who attended from the 1930s through the 1970s, said Mrs. Oliver, who graduated in 1957.
The brick building they attended, at the corner of 12th Avenue and 34th Street and adjacent to the park, was replaced in 2000 by the East Lake Academy of Fine Arts on Dodds Avenue.
“There is something to be said for these old communities and the neighborliness that thrived there,” said Marian Cartee Lewis, who graduated in 1950. “Also, lasting friendships started during those early school days.”
