MULTI-YEAR REUNION

There was a raffle held at the reunion this past summer with several items donated by various alumni. The winners of
the raffles were:

A “Boy and the Boot” print – Leisha Faulkner

A painting of “Barn with a Wagon Wheel” by Corrine Bongiovanni – Joe Tufts '63

A photo of “The Willows” from the Southern Aroostook Historical and Art Museum – Joe Tufts Editor’s Note:
Many might not know what The Willows were. Basically, it was a mini settlement on what is today outer
Smyrna Street roughly where the road dips down after the railroad bridge. There was a grove of willows
within the area. This is how the photo looks to me. You historians might know better than me
the exact location.
