ALJ Class of '76 – 50th Reunion + Class of '77 – 49th Reunion
Hilton Garden Inn Springfield · 304 Route 22 West, Springfield, NJ 07081
Fifty years after they walked out of Arthur L. Johnson High School for the last time, the Class of 1976 is getting back together. On Saturday, October 17, classmates will gather in Springfield for their 50th reunion, and graduates from every ALJ class are invited to join them.
The night includes a buffet dinner, a beer and wine bar, and a live band. It is a chance to catch up with old friends, meet classmates from other years, and share stories from the halls of ALJ. Union County Life readers who went to ALJ, or know someone who did, may want to pass this along.
Tickets are $90 per person. Payment is due by Thursday, October 15, 2026. Payment options, including PayPal, Venmo, and check, are listed on the reunion's Facebook event.
For guests coming from out of town, the Hilton Garden Inn Springfield at 304 Route 22 West is holding a block of rooms at $139 a night. Book online with group code ALJ50, or call the hotel at 973-232-5300 and mention the ALJ 50th Class of 76 Reunion room block. Rooms are limited, so book early.
Half a century later, the yearbook photos may have faded, but the friendships have not. Find more Springfield events, arts coverage, and community news on Union County Life.
