I am late on reporting about the 2022 gathering of the East Union Center Alumni that was held in May. There were 86 present at the banquet this  year. Honor classes were 1951-52 and 1961-62. The eldest were from the classes of 1945 and 1946. All over 90 years old! It was announced that Lafayette Central will no longer have an alumni meeting, however, it was voted by those present that East Union’s continue with the date set for May 14, 2023. Mark your calendars.
