Alumni Room Open House On Oct. 26; Dinner Date Looks Like June 27

Two bits of news from the old home town:

-- On Sunday, Oct. 26, from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. there will be an open house at the Alumni Association's room in the school building.

The Salamanca Press writes that "the alumni room is located in the former Little Valley Central School, 207 Rock City St., in a room on the Thompson Avenue side of the building. ... 
Included in the collection to be displayed are old yearbooks, commencement programs, a set of lockers recovered from the basement of the school, sports uniforms, National Honor Society banners and tardy slips. 'We actually also have the curtains that used to hang over the top of the auditorium,' added {Alumni President Kevin Andrew}. 'Last year we found our old track records that were all handwritten on a board. ... There’s a lot that people that went to school here that will remember. It’s not anything of great value necessarily, but valuable to people that went here. Come on in and see what we have.' " 


-- Kevin tells us that it looks like the 2015 dinner will be on June 27, in the Corporate Building at the Fair Grounds. Jeri Parkhurst Harris, class of '59, will speak. Kevin says the evening's theme will be "the creative arts."
