HARDING’S ALUMNI SOCK HOP

AT THE HOP….Harding High School alumni from the class of 1958 celebrated the 50th reunion beginning with a sock hop upstairs at Crabtown Restaurant in Bricktown.

Balloons and 1950’s decorations added to the room where a jukebox blared. Reunion monogrammed socks, baseball caps and tee shirts featured the Harding mascot, the Eagle. There are 176 people at the reunion. Co-chairmen were Bill Townsend, Sarah Alice and Larry Blackledge, Sherry and Ike Bennett and Elizabeth Prosser.
