; ÿ'i » ORONO WEEKLY TIMES, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 17th, it was a great reunion for the former Ore no Orphans Student Saturday night will be' a night long remembered by the former members of the Orono Orphans Hockey Club and those associated with the club over the period from 1946 to 1961. It was the first re union for the Orphans and many had not seen one another since their playing days. Over eighty were in attendance at the re-union to meet old friends and reminisce of those gone-bydays. Distance was no barrier with one member, Spence Creamer, coming all the way from British Columbia. Carl Flintoff travelled from Elliot't Lake, Bud Hooper from Sault Ste. Marie and Mel Schell from Ottawa. It was,a gathering of most of the clan. • ' There were interesting features of, the re-union other than a delicious banquet served by Tony's Catering Service. The group enjoyed an old movie of the return of the Club from one of their champion ships in 1948-49. Further to this each player was presented with a Medallion as well as some, close associates. With every presentation the boys took the opportunity to speak a few words of praise, of the fun, the association and the meaning of playing for the Orphans playing out of Orono. The group also paid tribute to those who' had passed on over the years with Chuck Armstrong reading a list of over thirty names. These included such as the late Ed. Dean, Ab. West, Bill Williams, Jack Hudson and many others. It was a touching gesture on the part of the organizers and the former players. The story of the re-union does not lie in the actual events of the night but rather in the renewing of old friendships and the look of joy in many a face when they exchanged greetings with a former line-mate of some years ago. With no exception all expressed a great evening with a great bunch of guys.
