Vassar High School Alumni A Vassar High School Alumni Association was started a number of years ago, but there was little activity involved until 1936 when the association was revived. It was revived in June, 1936 when the class of 1933 sponsored a banquet for the Alumni. About one hundred grad- uates of Vassar High School attended and elected officers for the organ- ization for the coming year. The officers elected were: Shurley Mc- Intyre, president, Carson Atkins, vice-president, Mrs. Kenneth Priestley, secretary, Mrs. Wil-iam O'Dell, treasurer. It was decided at this meeting that each year the Alumni activities would be climaxed by a dinner dance to be held the first week after graduation each year, so that the last graduating class could take part. It was learned at this meeting that members of the class of 1885 had circulated a round robin letter which was circulated between the ten remaining members of the class. Miss Ella North represented the oldest class present. In 1937 about one hundred and fifty graduates attended the ban- quet and dance which was held in the new auditorium of the Vassar High School. At this meeting a letter was read which had been received from Hiram Sturges, now a prominent attorney in Omaha, Nebraska, who is the only living member of the class of 1907. Miss Ella North again rep- resented the class of 1873, while Mrs. Ida Wells and Mrs. Lena Wight- man represented the class of 1884. Officers for the comizg year were elected as follows: President, Irma Gruber, vice-president, Lewis Garner, secretary, Gretchen Haines, treasurer, Glenn Miller. On June 10 of this year, The Alumni Association is again sponsor- ing its annual banquet and dinner-dance. The Assoc'ation extends a cordial welcome to all alumni of Vassar Public Schools to attend this meeting. This will be an opportunity to not only greet old friends, but to welcome the class of 1938 as well. The Class of 1938 wishes much success to the Association of which they will soon become members and sincerely hope that their fine efforts will continue to make a bigger and better Alumni Organization in the years to come.
