About this Article

Larkin High School in Elgin hosted an open house to celebrate its 50th anniversary, and it was the proverbial trip down memory lane for alumni who visited their old school on Saturday. Priti Amin of Aurora and friends Cindy Mogler Myroth, of Roscoe, Ill., and Brian Lawrence, now an Elgin police officer, said they enjoyed running into old classmates, and reminiscing about how different things used to be.
