All 1962 graduates of the eighth grade in local schools are invited to a reunion picnic from 1 to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 22, at the Burgess Park picnic grounds, 501 Laurel St. in Menlo Park.

Tacos and tostadas with all the fixings, beverages and dessert will be provided for a nominal charge.

"Our post World War II parents moved to Menlo Park and Atherton and largely stayed," says reunion chair Sally Moffet Lussier "That meant a whole bunch of us went all through grade school together. This was also the era when Hillview, Oak Knoll and Encinal were all K-8 schools.

"As word of the reunion circulated, others who attended St. Raymond, etc., expressed interest, so the reunion is open to anyone who graduated from eighth grade," she says.
