Welcome to the website for the Class of '74 alumni of Bakersfield High School, Bakersfield, California
The 35th Class Reunion was a smashing success!!! Besides a organizational flub by Coconut Joe's there were alot of compliments about the events and music and displays. The appearance of Mr. Hal Silverman was a touch of class also. It was my extreme pleasure to be this year's chairman. I could not have pulled this one off if it hadn't been for Pat Wadman, Ron Chambers, Marti Brock Mazzeo, Marty McDermott Shannon, Lois Barnett, Ken Van Dyke, and the one and only financial guru - Tom Gundry. My hopes and desires is that through this website and word of mouth contacts that our next reunion will be attended by at least twice as many classmates. I have enjoyed working on the 20th, 25th, and 30th reunions but have really appreciated what goes into planning one. Thank you all for attending - I personally hope you enjoyed yourselves. Please tell your friends and we will see you in 5 years!
The award winners for Most Years Married to the same person went to Stacey(Harrison) and Larry Briscoe; Farthest Travelled went to Laurie Jo Wallace who flew in from Boston; Most Wives went to one of the founding members of the musical group Boston - Doug Nelson (three); Most Husbands - Lois; More info on the Reunion page!!!
