the HERALD Paget- Seniors 8770109 8770109 Class reunions renew friendships By MARION HOGAN was our reunion we the girls of In we had our first class reunion at a dinner at the Arms in Hamilton For three years we had lived in residence together attended classes together and worked together We had entered the School o Nursing at the Hamilton Gemral Hospital later called the Hamilton Civic Hospitals on February 6 were about 45 of us originally but some dropped out and some were let go because they did not make good grades in the first year which left us with about 36 We learned a lot about each other in those three years and have met together every year since There are usually about 12 who attend but on special occasions such as a hospital anniversary there are more We have some who come quite a distance from California and British Columbia to meet and talk over old times new ex and families Those who cannot come send us a letter which tells us what they are do ing About the 20th reunion we decided to motel it overnight and later on we lengthened that to two nights Many reunions were held at near St Catherines but this year we our meeting back to Hamilton We ususally have an agenda lined out a show at Niagara on the Lake a visit to the Royal Botanical Gardens dinner at a good restaurant and a lot of talk ingand telling Gwen organizes our event every year and is to be given credit for the fact that we are still having reunions We know when and usually where we will be meeting the next year it is a kind of democratic decision and Gwen sends everybody an an about two months before the meeting date There are a few who graduated with us who do not attend and have not attended for a number of years and three of our classmates have died Gwens logo this year was printed on a serviette and was very appropriate My most valued antiques are my old friends I enjoy these class reunions seeing these women building up a relationship from having nothing in common to one in which we have a lot in common We are happy when something good hap pens to one of our members but we are also concerned when an il lness or a mishap happens to a classmate or one of her family We are all in the same age group and have been through family raising and into the grandparent stage together We hear about the travels of those who are able and want to see the world We see the pictures of weddings which have taken place over the past year pictures of new grandchildren and of older grandchildren and hear about changes in each other lives Some have lost their spouses and day together in Florida or Hawaii All these things help to strengthen the bond between us We are all retired now and many of us in the Hamilton area have a luncheon once a month and always meet at Joans for a Christmas get together Those who travel to Florida keep in touch with one another and have get togethers there We are for tunate to have built this relation ship and to have each other in an
