LYNDORA — The Butler High School Class of 1951 had its 70th and final class reunion Oct. 2 at the Tanglewood Center, 10 Austin Ave. The class members had dinner, a raffle and after-meal entertainment.

Class member and reunion committee member Louise Adams Spohn said this was probably the last reunion. She said most class members were in their upper 80s now, and many were either in nursing homes or physically unable to attend. “We decided we weren't going to have them anymore,” said Spohn. “We were having a hard time getting people this year.”

She called the ones that were able to attend “the lucky few.”
