As we celebrate America’s 250th birthday, the Natchitoches Central High School Bicentennial Class of 1976 celebrated its 50th anniversary during the Memorial Day weekend with a meet & greet on Friday evening at the Chateau Saint Denis Hotel. Seafood gumbo, rice dressing, green beans, a fresh green salad, fried chicken, along with an assortment of desserts that included king cake and 7up upside down cake were provided and served by the committee members.

The build up continued on Saturday morning for breakfast at Lasyone’s, followed by a tour of the South Campus. Many memories were expressed during this emotional time.
The semi formal celebration concluded on Saturday evening at the Natchitoches Event Center with an In Memoriam recognition along with a trip down memory lane 70’s video. Our first responders and military veterans were also honored.

We would like to thank the staffs of the Chateau Saint Denis Hotel, Lasyone’s , and the Natchitoches Event Center for their exceptional professionalism shown throughout. And to our two decorators, Kristina’s Event Rentals and Mrs. Glenita Leonard, thank you both for providing your expertise of allowing our vision to become a reality. The ten table floral arrangements by Jeanne’s Country Garden just added to that vision. JamNJay Productions provided the musical entertainment which made our event a stellar affair. A special shoutout to Mr. Steve Horton for his guided tour of the south campus, even with the inclement weather conditions.

Thank you again to all who were involved, and also to our fellow classmates for making our 50th class reunion a most memorable one.

The Spirit of ‘76 lives on, and together, we stand!

Sincerely,

The NCHS Bicentennial Class of 1976 50th Year Reunion Committee
