Long Island City, NY September 23, 2011 - In the 1950's and early 60's, the thing that brought young people together was not the internet. It was American Bandstand.  American Bandstand, dance, and songs written by high school students in NYC and Philadelphia kept kids glued to television as much as facebook keeps them glued to smart phones. That is the way it was from 1957 to 1961 when Long Island City High School students who graduated 50 years ago were at LIC HS. On September 23rd, several hundred members of the Class of 1961 gathered to celebrate their 50th Reunion at the fabulous Astoria World Manor.   Everyone enjoyed re-connecting with eachother. OurLIC was at the LIC HS Class of 1961 reunion and presents photographs, video, and a yearbook with this article.  Over the next few days, we'll be identifying some of the students with their photos.     50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento 50th Reunion LIC HS Class 1961 Photograph Courtesy of Pauline Benevento
