Some brought pictures, Croftonians, class newsletters, even dance tickets, and there was a hearty exchange on what we thought happened versus what really happened. Following drinks and dinner, some were even able to stay up past midnight to catch up with the Grad '87 Saints class at a good old fashioned house party. Whether in Vancouver or around the globe, our girls are living and working with children and families, computers, investment and taxes, screenplays and publishers, legal systems, hotels, forest products, animals and much more. It was wonderful to see those who could join us, and we missed those who couldn’t. Despite the different paths our lives are taking, the laughter was still the same. Sonya Zeitler Fletcher (Head Girl, Grad '87)
Class of 1962On May 23rd and 24th 2012 , under sunny skies, at Joanna Hutton's lake house at Whatcom Lake, Bellingham, the wonderful girls of '62 gathered for a sleepover to celebrate 50 years.
The organizing committee of Georgia, Bunny, and Joanna worked tirelessly and happily to make this important event one to remember and were so appreciative of all the spontaneous offers of help. Our reunion began with hugs and was sustained with laughter and stories through a welcome brunch, dinner, a marathon super scrabble game, and breakfast the following morning. We surprised the girls with a very deluxe cake baked just for us by a famously talented baker from Bellingham. Over the years we have gathered for the 10th, 20th, 30th, and 40th CHS birthdays with such a significant percentage of our class attending each year.
As the reunion drew to a close , each girl was presented with a goody bag containing a copy of the formal grad photo, CHS mints, CHS paper pad and a beautiful chrome pen inscribed to mark the occasion, a gift from Jo and Dave Hutton. The following was written on the card to each girl: "A friendship can weather most things and thrive in thin soil, but it needs a little mulch of letters and phone calls and some silly presents every so often .... just to save it from drying out completely." We shared our special thanks to Peggy Macdonald Alumnae Relations for all her helpful guidance and patience during the planning stages. Wishing each other peace, grace and wellness, we said our "goodbyes" knowing that the girls of '62 are a gift to us all.

Class of '63:50-year reunion Yes, it’s true! It’s soon going to be 50 years since we graduated. I think that merits a celebration don’t you? Let’s put our heads together and find a fitting way to mark this very remarkable milestone. It can be as simple as meeting for lunch on March 8th for the school’s birthday, we might want to stay on and have a reception or dinner at the beautifully renovated Old Res’ and pull out the Croftonian and pictures of the class. If you have some ideas and want to help organize an event just email alumnae@croftonhouse.ca and we’ll put our heads together. P.S. Availability of the dining room and reception space in the Old Res’ are in high demand that weekend so we need to decide quickly!
