The Lincoln Community High School Class of 1970 presented a class
memorial bench to the Lincoln Park District. Historically the LCHS
classes, on presenting a gift from their class will present their
monument, bench, financial gift to the High School. The 1970 class
of LCHS was a very wholesome, vibrant class who made their high
school memories at ‘The REC’. The 1970 class was one of the first
classes to enjoy the new REC when it moved from it’s downtown
location to the site next to the High school. The REC, under the
management of Hap Jacobson, had a youth advisory Board. Classmate,
Gary Maxey, was the representative who arranged to have ‘REO
Speedwagon’ play 3 x 45 minute sets for $350.00. The 1970s dances
also included 'Head East' and was entertained by WLS DJ Larry Lujack
in the ballroom at ‘The REC’
The committee members of the LCHS Class of 70 presented their bench
to current Executive Director, Becky Strait, who was thrilled to
learn about the history of the Lincoln Park District.
The bench was made by Wes Woodhall
and donated to the Emblem Club 'GALA' to support food baskets, Happy
Feet and academic scholarships. The Class of 70 has given back to
their community by purchasing the bench!!
