| 70th
Class Reunion

(click picture to enlarge)
On June 2,
1938, the (what was then) largest graduating class of Albany High School
students received their diplomas. On that Thursday in which The Herald
forecast thunderstorms, 135 teenagers — 67 boys and 68 girls — were
granted the pass into adulthood with that precious piece of paper.
Seven
decades later, 41 of those students remain. Nineteen members of that
group, all 86-88 years old, recently paid homage to that turning point
early their lives with a 70-year class reunion.
The two-day
event included a Friday night party at the home of class member Anna
Louise McCormack, followed by a luncheon at Doublegate Country Club the
following afternoon. |
