Welcome to the page for that special class from Logansport, Indiana.
57 was a GREAT year.... remember? Even the cars that year
were spectacular. How about the '57 Chevy or the '57 Ford?
They are classics to this day, just like the classmates of that year.
This page is being provided by a group of classmates who wanted a web presence for the LHS Class of '57 .

Pat remarked, "Unfortunately Buzzy Iles had just passed away a few weeks
prior to our reunion. But everyone else except PHIL Berndt made it. Sure was fun."
