Orem Grand Parade

From the Bicentennial to the Semiquincentennial - OHS Class of 1976

In 1976, we graduated during the excitement of the United States Bicentennial---when gas was under a dollar, hair was big, collars were wide, and nobody had ever heard of the internet!

We were cruising in big cars, listening to 8-tracks, and rocking out to bands like The Eagles and Fleetwood Mac. And yes ---some of us are still wondering who had the best disco moves!

Over the past 50 years, we've raised families, built careers, retired…and figured out how to use smartphones ---mostly!

We might be moving a little slower and traded bell bottoms for comfortable shoes, but we are still a Class full of Spirit!
