Seven members of the largest class to graduate from the Guilford Central School until June 1938 met Aug. 13 at the Silo Restaurant outside Greene [Chenango Co., NY], for their 50th class reunion.  They were accompanied by their spouses and by their two former class advisers, Helen Roberts and Joyce Marble both of Oxford.  Of the original class of 13 which graduated that year, only two are deceased, Rachel Boyko and Alliene (Hov) Constable.  Four others were unable to attend the group due to distances or ill health:  Kathryn (Ives) Glover and Jane (Carney) Sawyer of Florida, May (Bernholz) Jaksic of California, and Howard Jeffrey of King Settlement. 

 

Following the meal, a business meeting was held during which the letters from absent members were read.  Corsages were given to the class advisers, and a moment of silence was held for the two deceased alumnae.  Each member present at the reunion brought the rest of the group up to date on what had occurred in his life since graduation.  Awards were given for the member who had come the longest distance, the one who had been married the longest, the one with the most children and the one with the most grandchildren. 

 

The remainder of the evening was spent looking over class pictures, old issues of the school newspaper and other memorabilia of the bygone high school days, reminiscing and taking pictures of individuals and groups.
