LHS Class of '77 Cruises

Plan Now to Be Onboard Our
"Medicare Cruise" in 2024

Anchors Aweigh is not just a school slogan, it’s a reality when you join in the fun of a Class of ’77 Cruise. And if  you haven't had the pleasure of participating in one of our class cruises, then you’ve missed out on experiences that brought classmates, family, and friends together like never before along with over-the-top fun. 

When you’re on a Class Cruise, you are immediately jettisoned back to our younger days of feeling carefree, silly, and crazy,  just like in high school. No one cares what organization or group you belonged to. No one cares if you were a Straight A student or a flunkie. No one cares if they really can't remember you from our high school days. What we care about is having fun and joining together with individuals that experienced a special time of our youth. 

We celebrated our 50th and 60th Birthdays together on cruises and hope to once again set sail in the future on another grand cruise and adventure when we turn 65. 

Do yourself a favor...join in the fun of a class cruise and we promise you won’t regret it and will definitely never forget it!

Our Class Travel Agent Mary E. Richard has promised she’ll book our “Medicare Cruise” in 2024 to a fun destination and over-the-top and put together exciting and private excursions on a fun cruise line. Discussions have already started and many have expressed they’d like to go with a different cruise line other than Carnival as we’ve just been there and done that and are looking for an upgrade for our 65^th Birthday Cruise. Our destination is up for discussion as well. We’re sitting several years out, so start saving up and planning now to join in the fun and stay tuned for future details.
 

The Sailing Into Sixty Cruise was EPIC!

Our group of 68 had BIG FUN on our class cruise aboard the Carnival Paradise sailing to Grand Cayman and Cozumel.

Most of us may have been 60, but we didn’t act our age on this class cruise aboard the Carnival Paradise, Sept. 29-Oct. 3, 2019. We soaked up the sun on deck and in Grand Cayman and Cozumel. We experienced a wide variety of excursions that included swimming with stingrays, four-wheeling, sailing on catamarans, snorkeling reefs, tequila and chocolate tastings, bar hopping, port shopping, and exploring Mayan Ruins and historical homes in the ports. Onboard the ship, we left our mark as we laughed hysterically in the comedy club and were ALWAYS the last ones to depart the dance floors or casino, sang our hearts out at the piano bar, danced in the ocean breeze on the top deck, or shared a late-night pizza, ice cream cone, and laugh session each night.
 
We had a daring group that participated in the Quest Scavenger Hunt that MAY have had some of us making out with the same sex, using our teeth to tear holes in socks that were directly stripped off of someone’s foot, having men strut in high heels, performing The Worm on stage, taking off and wearing bras and black lace thongs on the outside of our clothes, allowing any and everyone in the game to kiss (and possibly provide a lap dance) to a group member’s baldhead to leave lipstick marks, dressing and posing like our favorite prostitute (“Mercedes,” our very own Instagram Model!), and finally lost when someone drew the line by refusing to strip off his boxers in public.
 
We made our group known by having themed attire for dinners that included Orange & Black Night, Hawaiian and Island Attire Night, and wore matching Cruise T-shirts, and special anchor bracelets. We “rolled” cruise doors, wore sailor hats, and left fun notes on cabin doors. We sang “Happy Birthday to Us” at the top of our lungs each and every night at dinner and shared multiple birthday cakes along the way. We had a special Awards Ceremony where we sang our Alma Mater and “Anchors Aweigh” as the well-represented Anchorettes performed a hand routine. We held our traditional and highly competitive Chinese Port Gift Exchange featuring fun birthday gifts including Mexican wrestling masks and highly coveted Margarita glasses. We presented special Superlative Awards and gifts, and crowned John Morgan as our Cruise King and Mary E. Richard as our Cruise Queen.
 
We reconnected, recharged, and created experiences that we will talk and laugh about well into the future. Those of us on the cruise felt sorry for those of you that missed out on it or cancelled due to the diversion from Cuba (40 people!). We’re already talking about cruising for our 45^th Class Reunion and possibly gathering together at an All-inclusive Resort in a few years as well. Do yourself a favor, start making plans for our next big class gathering. No one cares how many scars you have, how much weight you’ve gained, how little hair you may have, how many wrinkles you’re sporting, or even what you did or did not do in high school. We promise you will laugh until your cheeks hurt and recapture a bit of your youth with fellow Class of ’77 members and you will most definitely realize that our class is truly “Nulli Secundus!”
