The “Kids” From ’81 We were unable to learn of any reunion plans for the classes of 1947, 1957 or 1977.

Celebrated 20th by Ed Bol, ’81 Queen Anne logo merchandise will be available to buy at some reunions The class of ’81 enjoyed their reunion this past August 10, 11 and 12th. The three day event began as a casual Friday evening at Hoyt’s Pub on Queen Anne. Saturday brought a buffet dinner at the Seattle Center Sno- qualmie Room and finally a family picnic Sunday at Magnolia Park. Grads came from around the world to attend the weekend of fun! The travelers from the greatest distance came from Chile and Germany. A great time was had by all and we look forward to seeing you all again at the 25th reunion in 2006. Page 8 - The KUAY, February, 2002 Grizzly Angels Each year the legacy of Queen Anne High School is expressed in part by the Alumni Scholarship Program. An ongoing effort to provide scholarships for Grizzly descendants today and to provide a permanent fund for scholarships in the future. The contributions of our many Angels is what fuels the Queen Anne legacy. Most gifts to the Association are modest and all contributors are listed in the Angel list. A few grads and some of the reunion classes have pondered the value of our scholarship activities and chosen to give substantially larger amounts. These provide a significant boost and are most appreciated. Note: an asterisk (*) after a donor’s name indicates that scholarship use was specified.
