With 67 guests that included alumni from 21 classes, the Shady Maple Alumni Luncheon in East Earl, PA, on Tuesday, Oct. 10 continues to be a popular fall event for Williamson alumni.

The luncheon was coordinated by Ron Richardson 5W4 and Dick Dunlap 6W5, and included a buffet lunch much socializing, and prizes for the alumni who traveled the farthest to attend the event and the oldest alumnus in attendance.

President Michael Rounds gave a state of the school talk on a variety of school topics, including admissions, enrollment, trade programs, and the status of the Howley Dorm which is now under construction.

Chris Moran 9W9, president of the Williamson Association of Alumni, spoke on the many successes of the new alumni organization in its first year of existence, plans for the future, and encouraged all alumni to get involved.

When the microphone was opened to anyone who wanted to tell a Williamson story, Louis Pitonyak 6W1 and Gary Brooks 7W4 shared some memories.
