The Abbotsford High School graduation class of 1925 held a 50 year reunion on
Saturday at St. Bernard’s Catholic Church. Preceding the dinner, which was
prepared and served by the ladies of the parish, the group toured the
junior-senior high facilities, with Harold Mill, administrator, as tour guide.
Mrs. Edward Baertschy acted as mistress of ceremonies. Letters from classmates
unable to attend were read. This was followed by each class member giving a
resume of his (her) past 50 years. The lyrics of the class song were read by
Mrs. Baertschy. Mrs. Melvin Blake, a former teacher, spoke briefly on her
recollection of experience in teaching this class.
Table decorations were in keeping with the class colors and class flower – old
rose and silver and pink rose, and the golden anniversary. Favors were made by
Mrs. Baertschy and arrangements for the reunion were made by Maurice Hutt.
