Hello Classmates:
Welcome back to our recently updated Class of 1955 website! Thanksgiving, autumn leaves and unusually pleasant days have come and gone and we may be settling down for our long winter’s nap. Now it’s time to look ahead to our upcoming 75th Reunion in May. Autumnal days are here and soon those leaves will start to fall. How beautiful it could be in Northampton with Mountain Day weather — and how grey and chilly it was too when we might be homesick or thinking we had fallen behind in our studies! We were so young and no doubt so naive–with our lives all before us with its many happy and sad times yet to come. And now here we all are in our 90″s!
Sara (Sally) Greeley Bailey continues as our President, Jan Carlson Oresman is Planned Giving Chair, Alice Wayland Cruikshank is Memorial Chair, and Edie Stenhouse Bingham is our Class Fund Agent. We no longer require a Treasurer, House Reps Chair or Annual Giving Chair. And I continue as your Class “Website Manager”. Hopefully we will soon have a new Class Secretary as Katharine (Katie) Cowen Weldon sadly has passed away.
All living classmates have received a bright green 1955 Directory. Names were current as of 2020 — fortunately a reverse list of classmates with maiden names is included! Plus we still have our terrific 50th Reunion Yearbook compiled and edited by Sally Gooch Paynter in 2005. Wonderful memories abound!
Stay well and Carpe Diem!
