They’re bringing the ’70s
back to Brooklyn!
A whopping 130 alums of
Abraham Lincoln High School’s
class of 1979 traveled to Dyker
Beach Golf Course on Saturday
for their 40-year reunion.
Guests reminisced about the
good ol’ days at their Brighton
Beach alma mater with a buffet,
open bar, and DJ blasting
classic tunes all night long.
“We brought our classmates
and friends together and partied
like it was 1979,” said Reunion
Committee member Sharon
Stern. “You can take us out
of Lincoln High, but you can’t
take Lincoln High out of us!”
Welcoming guests from every
part of the country, Stern,
who organized the gala along
with nine other committee
members, said the event celebrated
COURIER LIFE, N 34 OVEMBER 15-21, 2019
their class’s wonderful
diversity and the rich lives
their friends went on to live
after graduating from their
cherished Brighton Beach institution.
“No party is as diverse as
a high school reunion,” said
Stern. “We had all different
types of people who have lead
very different lives over the
past 40 years.”
And the powwow wasn’t
just for students — fi ve teachers
came out to party with their
former pupils. Including former
drama teacher Dan Flickstein,
who was greeted by the entire
cast of the school’s 1979 production
of “The Fantasticks.”

While proud of their own
time at Lincoln High, Stern
said the 1979 alums stay hip
with their school’s current students,
with many attending
last year’s homecoming and
donating regularly. Most of
the speeches made at the start
of the night by selected alumnae
encouraged guests to pour
even more into the school’s
current students.
“We want to keep the Lincoln
spirit alive and we know
our generation is very much a
part of that,” said Stern.
