REMEMBERING THE 2015 ALUMNI BANQUET

The 119th Worcester Central School Alumni Banquet was held on June 27, 2015 in the WCS cafenasium with 258 alumni and guests present. A delicious buffet presented by Chef Joe Calleja and staff, was enjoyed by all. President Anita DuBois Cleveland welcomed guests and the class of 2015 to the banquet. There were alumni from New York State and 19 other states attending the banquet. President Cleveland introduced members of her family, led by retired WCS music teacher Elliot DuBois, who entertained us with musical selections after dinner. Guest speakers were Keith Lunn, class of 1965, and Roger Ames, class of 1963. The senior class was introduced and voted into the Alumni Association. President Cleveland recognized past and present teachers and support staff that were in attendance at the banquet. A.B. and Gladys Doig Memorial Award was given to Madison Wright and the WCS Alumni Award to Molly Doherty. Anniversary classes introduced and graduated generations of alumni listed by VP Linda TenEyck Karker . The program concluded with the benediction by Sidney Chase, class of 1958, and the singing of the WCS Alma Mater. *For a complete version of the minutes go to www.worcestercs.org.
