The Unadilla Alumni Dinner was held at the Duncan Building

on Saturday, May 24, 2014, with 46 in attendance. The theme

for the evening was Groundhog Day. The evening began with

a social hour of visiting with old friends and classmates. The

flag salute was led by Lee Clark. The Doxology was sung and

a delicious carry in dinner with many salads, fried chicken,

and a huge dessert table was enjoyed by all. The Alumni

Association furnished the chicken this year and no door

fee was charged.

The honored classes were 1939, 1944, 1949, and 1954. Present

from the 1939 year class was Helen Hahn Barkhurst of Louisville.

Lois Stoner Ebert of Unadilla represented the 1944 class. Class of

Colleen McCarthy of Lincoln and Donna Rae Callaway Thoms

of Nebraska City were present for the class of 1949. Martha

Stilwell Brown of Lincoln, and Barb Wallen Witt & Dwayne

Witt of Syracuse represented the class of 1954. Roland Rodaway,

class of 1938, and also the 2014 Groundhog King and honored

guest, gave some history of his class of 11 and some

interesting facts about the school and the surrounding area.

Harold Kuenning, Lincoln, told of his

veterans trip to Washington D.C. to see the Korean War

Memorial. Mary Margaret Clark led group singing with the

round "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" and "My Country Tis of

Thee". Everyone participated in a groundhog quiz.

Jean Lucas read the account

of last year's dinner, bills for this year were presented, and

voted to be paid. Discussion of the 2015 dinner included a

motion by Milton Leefers and seconded by Barbara Witt

and Donna Thoms, to once again furnish the fried chicken.

Vases of flowers as centerpieces

cookie cutters were won by Jane Ross, Jan Thomson, Barb

Leefers, Glen & Susie Wyatt, Jerry Thoms, and Johnny

Keeping your drinking water safe #3: Check drain lines

(refrigerator drink dispensers, water softeners, heat

exchangers, etc) to be sure there is an adequate air gap

between the drain line and the floor drain or sewer line

into which they discharge.
