OCTOBER 1035 17 THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION One of the most active of the town ' s organ- izations - is the Wells High School Alumni Association whose present membership of one hundred and fifty is steadily increasing. Probably the most important of its activities is the purchase of the Hamilton Field for the use of the high school. To celebrate this pur- chase, the Association will give a semi-formal dance at the Town Hall on November 8. Members also hope to present a three-act play some time in December. This play should be supported by members of the school because of the Association ' s kindness in presenting the school with Hamilton Field. Officers of the organization are: President, Nestor Pontbriand; First Vice-President, Philip Colognesi; Second Vice-President, Rita Earls; Recording Secretary, Beatrice Girard; Corresponding Secretary, Romeo Dumais; and Treasurer, Nellie Misiaszek. During the summer alumni spirit seems to have increased. An Alumni Association has been formed, and several class reunions have taken place. 1900 Wardwell Edwards a.nd Clarence Morse were hosts to fourteen members of the class of 1900 at a reunion and clambake September 11.
