Last summer, they donned beanies,
wrote funny Autobiographies, exchanged
memories and generally had a "really good
time." "They" were the 1970 Grade 13
class of Seaforth District High SchVol. This
summer they held a reunion at the White
Carnation in Holmesville to catch up on a
decade of their lives.
Gwen (McLean) Devereaux said "we
were a really close class" and added the
graduates found' ail was as if we'd never
been apart when we got together at the
reunion."
First, the former SDHS students donned
beanies with the school crest. Then they
were asked to compose their autobiography
stretching the truth if they wanted to,
Gwen said. These stories were then read
aloud, and the rest of the class had to guess
whose life. story they were hearing.
Almost three quarters of the class
attended the get-together, including Laurel
Hemingway. Laurel, who now lives in
Kenora with her husband, won the prize
for coming the furthest distance. She flew
down to the reunion leaving her husband
behind to battle the forest fires burning in
the area at the time -at least that's what the
master of ceremonies said.
The reunion invitations were sent out by
Gwen Devereaux and Angela (Devereaux)
McLean to all the graduates they could
locate.
In the ten years since they graduated,
class members have gone to university or
cxillege, started and sometimes changed
careers. 'lived abroad, married. had
families and spread across Canada.
