1939

Our good President Bert MacMannis hac thoughtfully provided the families of those members of our class who are no longer with us with copies of the Memorial Service Prograr held during our June Reunion. It was a service of rememberance of our class, '38, and '40, an: was conducted by a member of the cloth of each class. Bert has received some grateful replies and some promises that some future reunions might find some of the good ladies in attendance. Betty Ferguson, for instance, writes from her new home in Hilton Head, S.C., "The country is far different from New England but a bit easier in the long run. I keep busy working two days a week, playing golf and bridge, fishing, swimming and crabbing and bicycle riding - sure sounds as tho I should be the prize physical specimen."
