Lois Drought Mayhew’s mother Leonora Drought, and godmother Maryanne Trumble, and her sisters Mary Houghton, Jim and Karen Meyers, Bob and Linda Raimo, and her nieces Erin Houghton, Bill and Krista Houghton Alsworth and their two children Katie and Will Alsworth were in Wheeling, West Virginia for the graduation of Meghan Mayhew, daughter of Paul and Lois Mayhew from Mount de Chantal Academy High School over the Memorial Day holiday weekend. Meghan graduated on Saturday and the family hosted a party with over 125 people attending on Sunday. Meghan will be attending the University of North Carolina in Asheville this fall.

Paul and Lois Mayhew and their two daughters, Meghan and Emily will be moving from Wheeling, West Virginia where they have lived for the last eight years to Fort Mill , South Carolina this month.

Memorial weekend, Jan and Dennis Morse and family went to their family camp in South Otselic, along with their children, grandchildren, friends and co-workers from Syracuse, Orwell, and Lyons. Some were there for the night and others just for the day. At night they enjoyed a bonfire, roasting marshmallows and delicious s’mores, with everyone having lots of fun.

The Parish Special Olympics Training Club took three athletes to competition on Saturday, June 2 in Rome, NY for track and field events. Jim Smith won gold for his discus throwing and took 4^th place in his 100 meter dash. Jon Michael Harlsy won bronze in his discus throwing and 4^th place in his 100 meter dash. Kim rude won bronze in her discus throwing and gold in the 100 meter walk.

Members of the class of 1942 met at the home of Lloyd and Arreta Ware on Saturday, June 2^nd for a light lunch, with a cake for the occasion. There was much reminisces’, joke telling, reading of “Senior” poems and just a great time. It didn’t seem like sixty-five years since they had graduated from Parish High School. There were eight members there with their spouses. Four of the classmates were unable to attend due to illness or other factors. In the evening they attended the banquet at the APW High School and Arreta wishes she could have been near the piano as she remembers the words to both verses of the old alma mater. Before the lunch they held hands to say grace and remember our four classmates who have died: Eleanor Cusack Forbes, Michael Szbeniak, Arthur LaForce and Clyde Canfield. They look forward to their 70^th anniversary.
