(This is Emmy’s picture of the rainbow. Thanks Emmy)



During Bennington Catholic High's 50th class reunion at the Mount Anthony Country Club today, 15 white balloons were released to the heavens, representing the 15 departed classmates. As the balloons ascended, a rainbow appeared. (Lois Ostrander)
On September 7th, 1955, seventy seven young people assembled at St. Frances de Sales Academy to plant seeds, start traditions and launch the future of Bennington Catholic High School. They are truly our "Founding Fathers (and Mothers)" and have blessed us with so much. In June of 1959, this same class exploded like fireworks into the real world.

The reunion this weekend showed all, that their spirit is still alive, well, and radiating the glow of the initial fireworks. The class continues to set trends for the future.

As a member of the last graduating class of BCHS, I thank you and salute you all for giving us this spirit.

The above is now available on CD. It contains 1,566 pages of Yearbook and Newspaper articles from The Bennington Evening Banner, The North Adams Transcript, Troy Record, The Berkshire Eagle and others about the class of 1959.

Mary Forrest Norris (memere8@inbox.com) has several copies that can be purchased and can get more if needed.

As a 1967 graduate of BCHS (the last class) I am honored to be able to help the first class of 1959 in their 50th reunion.
