Crowley High Class of 1974 holds reunion

On Saturday, June 6, the Crowley High class of 1974 celebrated its 35th class reunion. The reunion was held at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Parish Hall from 6 to 10 p.m.

Special plaques were given to members of the committee for all their time and help. Those receiving plaques were John and Cheryl Prather Signorelli, Cindy Broussard and Ramona Trahan Credeur.

Classmate Steven Broussard was awarded a plaque for the best golf game in the tournament held Friday at Bayou Bend golf course.
