SWHS photos

Here are a couple of photos I took today, on the first day that there has been any sunshine and dry weather of note. I had been meaning to post photos of SWHS the way it looks today and these are two photos of the main building. The modern side faces Third Street (and the gym) and the old "Union High School" entrance faces north, on what used to be Nelson Street. Now it is a nice concrete-paver mall with lights and some outdoor seating.




















In 1969 when I broke my ankle, skiing, I left my crutches at the top of these stairs and rode all the way out to the L&M Drive In with friends before I realized that I hadn't brought the crutches...luckily, we retrieved them without incident. That was 40 years ago this month. Ankle is fine, thanks for asking.

I also went to the SWHS Alumni Association meeting today where we discussed upcoming events. The Geranium Sale/Bake Sale is scheduled for May 2nd. It is a major fund-raiser for the Alumni Assn's scholarship fund. Also the all-class picnic will be Saturday, July 11th. Be sure to get that on your calendar and I'll let you know when to purchase tickets. It's a fun gathering at Riverfront Park for graduates of all years and friends. It will be catered again this year by Joy's Bakery - Janet and Mike Joy.

The monthly gathering of Class of 71 will be Tuesday, March 31st at Common Ground in Burlington. 5ish to 7ish. Come on over and visit around the big table! Maybe we'll watch Nancy knit!

More as it develops...
