ALLENTOWN, Pa. — At Harrison Morton Middle School in Allentown, back to school came a little later for Alexis Stengel, her cousin Scott Pfeiffer and brother-in-law Ed Mlynek.<\/p>\n
“We were the Three Musketeers, yeah,” said Stengel.<\/p>\n
On Friday, those Musketeers are a little older, gathering with 57 other former classmates to pore over pictures, sign the welcome banner, and to check out the trophy cases, hoping to spot memories long forgotten.<\/p>\n
“Suddenly we see people that we haven’t seen in 50, 60, years, and it seems like time has just stood still, and everything is great again,” said Stengel.<\/p>\n
Stengel organized the nostalgia tour after hearing the Allentown School District is considering building new schools.<\/p>\n
So she and her fellow students wanted to visit their junior high school haunt one more time, just in case.<\/p>\n
Harrison Morton Principal Spencer Cameron says he was glad to host the alumni roughly a week before students return to class.<\/p>\n
“This this really is such a family community, and to see everybody kind of come out in droves to kind of support something that they love and care about so much is really special,’ said Cameron.<\/p>\n
Pfeiffer says he’s glad he did.<\/p>\n
“A lot of people we grew up with, are no longer With us anymore, so it’s a good thing seeing the ones that are still kicking,” said Pfeiffer.<\/p>\n
And what would a reunion be without a class photo? Pictures were taken in the auditorium and the gym, once photographers could get the group to stop laughing and sharing stories.<\/p>\n
It was a day full of moments.<\/p>\n
For the Three Musketeers, a time to reflect on how things have changed.<\/p>\n
“We’re making memories now,” said Stengel.<\/p>\n
And yet, how they remain the same.<\/p>\n
“You feel like you’re young again, ” said Pfeiffer.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ALLENTOWN, Pa. — At Harrison Morton Middle School in Allentown, back to school came a little later for…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":265878,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[214,232,153,155,154,233],"class_list":["post-265877","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-bethlehem","tag-_homepage_top_stories","tag-allentown-area","tag-bethlehem","tag-bethlehem-headlines","tag-bethlehem-news","tag-schools"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265877","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=265877"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/265877\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/265878"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=265877"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=265877"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-pa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=265877"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
