A Summary of the Weekend's Festivities

The Football Game

The plans for the footballgame on Friday night turned out great. Many of us met in the Crocker Field Clubhouse prior to the game for refreshments, and then we marched on to Crocker Field, and to our seats to watch a great game versus Brockton. And of course there was Slattery's after the game. A great time was had by all.


The Saturday Morning Tour

Fitchburg High School, 140 Arn-How Farm Road

Doug Romano and Nancy Sweeney enjoyed showing off the new building Saturday morning. The tour started at 10:00 a.m., with several different graduating classes participating in the event.


The Reunion

Finally, the was a huge success, with over 150 attending the event."Double Take" put on a good show. We had quite a few "new" faces at the 25th, with many classmates travelling great distances to be with us. We hope they enjoyed the comraderie of being with their high school classmates, and that perhaps even new friendships were formed as a result. We truly hope everyone enjoyed themselves during the weekend's festivities!!!
