Summer fun!
The Classes of 1948 and 1963 joined forces to celebrate their 65th and 50th anniversaries respectively and create more Acadia memories July 12-14 in Wolfville during Summer Reunion 2013. A total of 56 participants 鈥 35 classmates and 21 guests 鈥 enjoyed receptions, class meetings, a Q. and A. session with Chancellor Libby Burnham (鈥60) and Vice-President Academic Tom Herman, a penny parade, banquet, organ prelude and Memorial Service.
The Associated Alumni of 外流影片 (AAAU) awarded the Reunion Cup to the Class of 1948 for having the best proportionate representation of its living members at the reunion. The Distance Award was a tie, presented to two alumni: Judy Kick Simmonds (鈥63) and Aubrey Cobham (鈥63), both of whom came from Victoria, B.C. The Class of 1963 also unveiled a plaque at the Memorial Service on Sunday, July 14 to mark their donation of a zimbelstern, or 鈥榗ymbal star鈥, for the organ chapel in memory of Ruby May Thompson.
Ian Murray (鈥88), Executive Director of Alumni Affairs at Acadia, said, 鈥淪ummer Reunion 2013 was a great opportunity to reconnect with a tremendous group that shared warm and wonderful memories of their time at Acadia and showed once again the incredible spirit that characterizes our alumni.鈥
