Held on Friday, October 23, our 5th Annual Founders Reception featured the official reunions of the Classes of 1940 and 1945, two classes that graduated into two very different futures: a looming world war for the Class of 1940, and the promise of the end of hostilities for the Class of 1945.
Mary Arballo Magaña was the only attending representative from the Class of 1940. She spoke to the crowd and answered student questions.
Hortencia Moriel Trejo, her sister Theresa Moriel Gonzalez, Jim French, and Josephine Medina Villa represented the Class of 1945.
Also attending: Bettie Grice Wolfe (’41), John Crowson, Shorty Gonzales, and Jay Williams (all ’42), Jim and Janie Phillips King (’43 and ’47), Jim Downs and Al Southworth (’48), and many more.
