had a mini-reunion over An-
niversary Weekend and Gradu-
ation. Trustee Laurel Daniels
Abbruzzese was on hand to
celebrate and also to support
the Ballet Company. Laurel and
her husband, Greg, provided
Converse sneakers to the whole
troupe for a ballet piece cho-
reographed by our formmate,
Philip Neal, who came back to
SPS this past spring to create
it for the SPSBC. Jill Forney,
Phyllis Hansen Clark, and I all
had Sixth Formers graduating
(Jackson Gates, Phoebe Clark,
and Griffin Bartsch ), and Nils
Eddy made a heartily welcomed
surprise appearance to hail his
‘illustrious formmates,’ while
back East to help his parents
move. Because it wasn’t official,
we got to choose our own form
picture location, and we think
we did pretty well (thanks to
incoming AA President Ward
Atterbury ’85 for snapping the
shot and to Laurel for insisting
we take one)!”

We are officially next in line to
celebrate our 25th reunion at
SPS. Seems impossible, right?!
We are working on some fun
plans for the celebration. It
would be fantastic to get a big
turnout. So, please mark your
calendars for the weekend of
May 29-31, 2015. Millvillewill be
the place to be! We will send de-
tails on hotels, dinner plans, etc.
Also in the coming months, we
will be working on plans to get
people together inNewYork and
Boston. If anyone is interested in
hosting a group in another city,
just give a shout. Hope to see you
all at the end of May 2015!
