Please note that the 40th Class Reunion has been postponed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. In June 1980 The first 24-hour news channel, Cable News Network (CNN) is launched; The African National Congress in South Africa publishes a statement by their imprisoned leader Nelson Mandela; U.S. President Jimmy Carter signs Proclamation 4771, requiring 18- to 25-year-old males to register for a peacetime military draft; in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan; Vigdís Finnbogadóttir is elected President of Iceland making her the first woman democratically elected as head of state; the band Queen releases their eighth studio album The Game and the University High School Senior Class graduates at Pauley Pavilion celebrating their first steps into adulthood. It's been 40 years since we were students at University High School and we are ready to reconnect and celebrate. A major milestone because many of us are now watching as our own sons and daughters are graduating college, getting married, and having children of their own. No matter your path in life, we all began this journey at University High School with the hopes and dreams that all kids hope to find. The members of the 40th Reunion planning committee encourages you come celebrate and share your life's story with your fellow high school classmates. As they say, come, let down your hair, and just have a fun time reminiscing with old friends and new ones. We look forward to seeing you at the Class of 1980 reunion.
