She said she noticed that her class – the Class of 1934 – though not listed, would be due for their 80th reunion. Then she said she realized that there was no one left for her to reunite with, so of course there would not be a reunion.” Alaine says her mother – who turned 99 on September 18 – still has all of her faculties, has less gray hair than at least four of her seven children, and remembers an autogiro ride while in the Girls School. Granddaughter Elizabeth Fuller, a teacher in the Girls School, says: “When I visited her in August, she was reminiscing about her days at ANC. She was recalling classmates and experiences, sang a portion of their class song, and was somewhat wistful that there were no others to unite with this Charter Day.” Liz took the accompanying photo of the 1934 class banner, and also supplied the photo of her beloved grandmother. Technically, there is one other class survivor – Curtis Glenn, who lives in New Jersey. He actually graduated in 1933 but got his diploma in 1934 and is considered an Honorary Member of the Class of 1934. 557
