When classmate Mary Hayes-Smith retired, she took on the project of tracking down her classmates. That happened in time for them to have a 50th reunion (shown above). Approximately half had moved outside the state and many returned to the area for that reunion.
A class of 62 students graduated from Churchville-Chili 62 years ago in 1962. Some class members gathered for lunch on July 30 to celebrate their 62nd anniversary.
Since then many of the “locals” have gotten together for lunch occasionally. This year Mary Hayes-Smith was in town for a visit, and the group gathered for lunch to celebrate their 62nd anniversary. Pictured are (l-r): seated – Karen Huey, Brenda Sage-Frank; standing – Carole Daugherty-Thoms, Marj Way-Voke (class of ’61), Leon Hill, Gary Whelpton, Joyce Stanford-Crooks, Don Charles, and Mary Hayes-Smith.
