The musicians are:

the cd features compositions by members of the group, including one (sweet 16) by yours truly!

Hey Guys,SECOND ANNUAL SHS ALUMNI NIGHT OUT -- DEC. 26th --- if you are going to be in town, Dan Shaffer, Deirdre Stief and Chris Stief are planning another SHS Alumni night out at Iron Hill in Media on Friday December 26th. More details to come, but mark your calendar. We did this last year and had a pretty good turn-out from a variety of classes. Spread the word. Email your classmates and tell them to join this Facebook Group for info.

I guess several of you know how to find the place now!

Oh, what fun to see and talk to everyone. I could have spent another few hours at Carol's, but, alas, we had a babysitter waiting at home! Hope you enjoy the pictures too. (Chris, can you take our family pictures next year?? Your photos are superb!)

Best Wishes, Mandy Weir Buoni

THE END OF A FUN NIGHT

And, our feet were killing us!

THE FAMILY PICTURE

Not everyone got in the picture but we tried! This was taken in the lobby of the school (in front of the old school store?).

Back Row (left to right): Timothy Rogers, Cindy Palmer Rosenthal (and her son), Carol Shane O'Dea, Judy McKelvey, Cathy Foley Garvey, Hank's son and Hank Ogilby, Eric Peabody, Bob Bannister, Bob's son, Kris Allen Kerr's son.

Front Row (left to right): Carol's two daughters, Cathy's two daughters, Eric's two sons, Amy Condren Budinger, Amy's two daughters, Kris Allen Kerr and her daughter.

GYM SCOREBOARD...THIS ONE IS FOR OWEN!

Owen, this one has "weathered" better than the football scoreboard. We were all wondering what happened to all of the plaques, records, etc., that were previously posted in the gym. You can see they're now blank, garnet boards (right of the scoreboard)! Love to have seen them!

WHAT FUN!

It may have taken 30 years to get it together but it was worth the wait! I'm somewhat chagrined to post my pictures following Chris's. (Chris, your work is incredible!) Anyway, I didn't take nearly as many as I thought...but here they are...

In case anyone needs help: Holly Groff Moore and her daughter, Hank Ogilby with his son with Eric Peabody and Bob Bannister with Helen Traversi and Bob's son.
