CCHS Florida Alumni Brunch
March 7, 2004
Food and memories make for a memorable day, as almost 80 graduates of Columbia City High School & their spouses discovered at the fourth annual alumni brunch in Venice, Florida. The oldest class represented was 1939 and the youngest 1962. We even belted out the CCJHS Fight Song , thanks to placemats with its words & music.
Trivia Fact: The Fight Song was created by Lavon Luckenbill, Bill Bloom, & Franklin Waterfall, members of the Class of 1935.
