The fall luncheon at Shady Maple Restaurant in East Earl, Pa., on Tuesday, Oct.
13, was attended by Ager, Bowes, Brown,
and McCormick. Present were others from
classes of our time at WTS. President
Rounds spoke on his vision for the school
and changes he has implemented to engage
students on campus. He informed us of a
substantial anonymous donation for the
construction of an additional cottage to be
located in an area adjacent to Longstreth
cottage. The new cottage will be named the
“Watson Cottage” in honor of Wayne Watson, a graduate and current chairman of the
trustees.
The Watson Cottage will have a stone exterior to the specifications of the other campus Furness buildings. When completed,
the Watson cottage will enable vacating an
existing cottage for extensive renovations
to be performed by the students, providing
them work experience in their trades. Each
of the remaining cottages will be vacated,
one at a time, in the same manner until all
of the cottages have been completely renovated. The increase in housing capacity will
enable expansion of the student body, part
of the vision President Rounds foresees for
the future. No time frame for completion of
this work was indicated. Also mentioned,
the annual enrollment for the freshman
class will remain at 100 students for the
foreseeable future, although expansion of
the student body and campus facilities is envisioned for the long term.
5W4 Class Rep Ron Richardson announced the date for the spring luncheon
on campus as April 12, 2016. Mark your
calendar and plan to attend. You will receive
additional information from our Luncheon
Committee chairman Jack and his staff —
Jim Bowes. We hope to see you in April.

caught 52 salmon with a fly rod on the first
