Headmaster Tim Molak brought the group up to date on activities during the past year and talked about his vision for transforming the campus before theschool’s50thanniversaryin2007. Heseesanew performing arts center that would also serve as a hall in which the entire school community could meet, an expanded “Red Square” renamed St. Benedict’s Square, new classrooms built into the hill beneath the current library and dining hall, a student center where the library is now, and the library back where it once was in an expanded science and technology building.
The afternoon included playtime for children, supervised by Middle School Athletic Director Doug Sargent, a campus tour led by Tim Molak, and a mass celebrated by Father Martin.
The reunion concluded with a reception and dinner in the dining hall. Fathers Egon, Pius and Martin, Brother Edward and teacher Paul Trudelle were on hand to greet their former students and friends. Theeveningwascharacterizedby reminiscences, renewed friendships and much laugher.
