school means leaving behind friends and settling Instead for mere memories But for more than former students and teachers who coaverg on Acton this past weekend the Acton Continuation School reunion was a rare chance to renew old ties and relive happiness and hi inks More than a year of planning brought together nearly years of classes for the twoday event with former students flying In from across the continent A wine and cheese at the Acton Legion Friday night kicked things off and around- town bus tours Satur day were followed by a band concert and dinner Saturday evening at the Acton arena For most the weekend was a wonderful way to catch up on whats been happening in the last 30 or even 50 years hut for some such as Marie Lantz Sutcllffe there were more than a few surprises Ive Just been having a wonderful time seeing everyone although there were some I should have recognized but didnt said Mrs Sutcllffe who looks 15 yeara younger than her years at a buf fet dinner at the
