St. Edward 50-year class gathers

On Sunday, May 16, 1971, baccalaureate was held at 8 p.m. for the class of 1971. The 21 seniors graduated Tuesday, May 18, 1971, at 8 p.m. and were anxious to head out into the world.
Fifty years later, all 21 of those graduating seniors are still alive, which may be a “first” in the history of the St. Edward Alumni Banquet.  
It is ironic, because 50 years later in 2021, May 16 fell on a Sunday, and May 18 fell on a Tuesday.
On Saturday, May 29, 16 of the 21 graduates and their spouses met at the St. Edward Public Library for an afternoon of reminiscing, hugs, and lots of sharing.
