What is there about 1926?

We now have two graduates from that class who are intending to attend the September Celebration.

We told you about Mary Rothwell.

Now, a fellow classmate, Cliff Bartells will be joining her.

Cliff will be 98 in October. His granddaughter says that he still lives in his own house by himself (in the Seattle area), still drives and goes camping in the summer among other activities.

$100 in 1926 is equivalent to $1,121.47 today.

Golden Grads

Do you know who's the oldest?

Mary Rothwell will be attending our event in September. She will be 98. She was born on June 28, 1908.

Mary also attended Washington and Lowell. Her Dad owned a business college in downtown Tacoma.

Mary attended the University of Hawaii and UW and received a degree in social work. She worked as a social worker in Hawaii and Seattle.

In case you're looking in your yearbook, her former name was Beutel.

There will be a special reception for "Golden Grads" on Saturday, the 16th.
This will be for all graduates from at least 50 years ago.
