The 2012 Reunion
- by Chatham Hall
From the Class of 1937 to the Class of 2007; from Denmark and Danville to London and Paris (Kentucky, that is); with partners, children, mothers and fathers; alumnae came home to Chatham Hall this week.
The class of 1962, celebrating its 50th reunion, was well represented with 26 members of the class and enjoying several special events planned just for them including: Coffee with the Rector, Tea in the Tea Room, and 50th Reunion Dinner at the Rectory. The Rev. Helen Beasley ’62 was a guest preacher and celebrant of the Chapel Service of Remembrance, where St. Mary’s Choir and alumnae of St. Mary’s Choir sang beautifully together.
The weekend programming included presentations from Wendy Wilson O’Brien ’67 and Kate Bulkley ’77, as well as a student panel and a conversation about favorite literature with Dr. William Black to mark his retirement from classroom teaching.
The Alumnae Association’s 2012 Distinguished Alumna award was given to Anne L. Bryant ’67 who has been the Executive Director of the National School Board Association as well as the director of the America Association of University Women. The Nancy Gwathmey Award, for superior skills in fundraising, was given to Dorothy “Debbie” Humphreys Jones ’67, Elizabeth “Betsy” Stout Foehl ’67, Patricia Noojin Dudley ’67, and Wendy Wilson O’Brien ’67 for fundraising leadership in their class.
And there were parties! Team spirit was alive and well at the Purple and Gold Celebration on Friday night. On Saturday, alumnae worked shoulder to shoulder with students to make unique and beautiful headpieces for the Kentucky Derby Mint Jubilee that evening. (Students had their own, age appropriate viewing of the Derby and s’more making in the Niche, while adults celebrated in the Lecture Hall.) A costume enhanced photo booth, a spectacular raffle with beautiful items, and delicious food at the Reunion Banquet wrapped up the weekend… that is, for anyone that didn’t have Coffee and Cordials at the Rectory, or attend the Pajamas and Pearls Party at the Hampton Inn!
Thank you to all who made Reunion 2012 a great success!
