POCATELLO — The Pocatello High School class of 1972 is getting ready for their golden 50th class reunion, Aug. 5 and 6. The big event is attracting classmates from all over the United States and Mexico and promises to be a gathering like no other. Activities include mini-putt golf, golf tournament, classic car show and parade, PHS rock painting and tour of the newly updated campus along with food and music both on the nights of Aug. 5 and Aug. 6.
