the Matthews Hockey Center, where we
posed for the always entertaining class
photo.
We all went to the Small Chapel to cele-
brate the lives of the seven class members
who have died since we left the campus.
David Tait led the service, hymns were
sung, lessons read, and each deceased
classmate was spoken of by someone
who knew him well. In some cases, many
classmates spoke. After the service, most
of us stood outside the Chapel and talked
to one another about the Form of 1968 and
how this service had seemingly brought
us closer together. It was truly a defining
moment, and the start of a new tradition.
Kudos to David Tait, Michael Morgan, and
Bill Benson for putting it together.
We found our way back to Meredith
after the service, and many of us relaxed
in the frigid waters of the lake. The sight
of 10 classmates and spouses on a raft
in the lake was enjoyed by most of the
locals, who generally don’t go into the
water until July. Dinner Saturday night
was held at the Woodshed, near Boone’s
house in Sandwich.
We were joined by Bill ’61 and Marcia
Matthews, who arrived at SPS as faculty
around the same time we came as stu-
dents in the mid-1960s. The stories of
our time on campus grew larger, and
there was a sense of nostalgia as we all
realized it would be five years before we
gathered again as a group. It seems like
with the passage of time, the incredible
friendships and shared experiences we
had while attending SPS have become
more meaningful.
Most people agreed it was our most
successful reunion, with the possible
exception of the 25th, and we left the
restaurant vowing to make our 50th an
anniversary for the ages.
