ALUMNI ASSOCIATION OF UNIVERSITY SCHOOL SUMMER 2011 NEWSLETTER ANNUAL JULY REUNION

Next, we conducted our annual election of officers and welcomed Alan to the AAUS board:

We had a wonderfully fun, well attended reunion in July. We met in Rm. 100 of Ramseyer Hall and AAUS President, Skip Woodruff, began the meeting with us all singing “Alma Mater.” This song and the room always bring back such fond memories of music class and Mary Tolbert. Yes, Mary, we still had some pretty good harmony going. You taught us very well! There were about 40 people in attendance, along with some spouses and several more came later. We had class representatives from 1939 through 1967 as well as faculty members, Jim Stahl, Vic Showalter, Barbara Thomson Showalter, and Marysue Garlinger Wilson. We loved to see so many members of the Class of 1961 celebrating their 50th reunion as well as so many members of the 1960s sports teams, especially 1966, celebrating our special teams of the 1960s. Our main business consisted of voting to move the annual meeting/reunion to occur the last half of June instead of the second weekend in July. Since OSU is now going into a semester plan, they will now begin summer semester in midJune, so we can meet a little earlier in the year. Mark this on your calendars now…Saturday, June 30th, 2012, Ramseyer Hall, Annual Meeting.

President: Skip Woodruff, ‘59 Vice Pres.: Alan Stickney, ‘65 Membership/Treasurer, Steffanie Haueisen, ‘64 Recording Secretary, Julie Nusken, 55

(Many thanks to Pat Von Jasinski ’66 who filled in as secretary during the meeting in Julie’s absence.) After the business discussion, Coach Stahl was introduced. He and several of the basketball players from the mid1960s, had saved some of University School’s trophies. They have been loaning the trophies to the players on these teams on a rotating basis and he presented one of them to Alan Stickney, to now have his custodial enjoyment of it. If anyone of you knows where any other University School trophies were sent when the school closed, we would appreciate any information you have. In all likelihood, they are gone. We owe a huge thank you to Coach Stahl for saving these. After this we took some group pictures, had a wonderful tour of the building, and socialized a great deal. It is still so beautiful and full of memories. I also want to thank Bob Fowle, ’39 who attended the reunion and donated sports pictures from his junior year, 1938, with all players identified. He also included the information that no sports pictures were taken his senior year. Interesting facts and well done donation. Thanks so much!
