Return to the Scene Mountain Brook High Class of ’74 Reunites
Mountain Brook High School’s Class of 1974 held its 50th reunion April 20 at the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. It was fitting that the event was at the botanical gardens, where the group held its after-prom breakfast party 50 years ago, said class member Elon Allen, one of the organizers. The evening included a dinner buffet and cash bar. Several members of the class brought the event together. Emory Ellis, class president in 1974, formed a group to try to contact all classmates. Cindy Sherrill Canaday, who has overseen the class website for the past 30 years, kept everyone updated. Mary Owens has overseen the Class of 1974’s finances for 30 years. Carla Caffey Kent organized the decorations with alumni, including those who were members of the Dorians, the school’s dance team. The Dorians had a reunion lunch earlier in the day. Mark Hilley provided the music and Ken Williams was in charge of name tags, which led to some goodnatured laughs at how large the print needed to be so class members could read them, Allen said. ❖
