Downey High's class of 1978 planning 40th reunion

DOWNEY – On Oct. 12 – 14, Downey High School’s class of 1978 will mark the 40th anniversary of its graduation with a weekend of gatherings, games, and group field trips.


The fun kicks off Friday night with some attendees traveling to Lynwood to cheer on the Viking football team at a DHS away game, and others competing in a miniature golf tournament at Golf ‘N Stuff, followed by an awards ceremony and party at Rock and Brews (at Stonewood Shopping Center).


Saturday morning, graduates will be treated to a tour of the Downey High School campus, followed by lunch at Mimi’s Café. Later that evening, the reunion dinner takes place. Casual attire is highly encouraged.


Tickets for the dinner are still available and can be arranged by contacting DHS class of ’78 grad Becky Forbes (formerly Becky Batchelder) at Rebecca.k.forbes@gmail.com.


A Facebook page has also been set up (Downey High Class of 1978) for graduates to communicate before, during, and after the big weekend.
