Newtown High 65th Reunion

Newtown’s high school class of 1935 celebrated its 65th reunion last week at the Stony Hill Inn, Bethel. It was the seventh consecutive gathering organized by Grace Murphy Rooke, who was joined by classmates from the classes of 1933, 1935, and 1936.

The classmates from 1935 included Eleanor Waterhouse Thompson, Eric Person, Francis Bresson, and Julius Rosenberg. Attending from the class of 1936 were Frances Carnecka Mazzei and Lillian Canfield Ermisch. The class of 1933 was represented by Laura Knapp Karcheski. Other guests were: Mrs George Erb, Mrs Eric Person, Mrs Emma Brown Pavao, Mrs Eddie Duda, and David Mazzei.

 Plans have already been made for another reunion next year which, Mrs Rooke said, proves how successful and enjoyable an afternoon it was!
