SWOYERSVILLE — Members of the Wyoming Area High School Class of 1973 gathered Oct. 4 at Murphy’s Pub in Swoyersville to celebrate their 70th birthday.

Attendees were treated to a buffet, Hershey’s candy provided by Bob Black and customized cupcakes and cookies provided by Michele Mulvey Mlieczynski. Louie Palmeri conducted a trivia game.

The take-home gift was a Hefty garbage bag because, at 70, classmates are cleaning out their houses and don’t need any more trinkets.
