Friday meant fry day for families and alumni celebrating homecoming at Cardinal Mooney Catholic High School.

Festivities for the weekend that brings back alumni, began with a fish fry Friday evening before the homecoming football game against Victory Christian Academy. This year marked the 50th reunion for members of the class of 1965. A group of alumni from the class of '65 and most classes since were present to scroll through old yearbooks while they dined. 

The main attraction of fried fish or fried chicken tenders were provided by Walt's Fish Market and Restaurant for the occasion. 

This year's gathering also included a haunted house built and operated by students.
