Reunion Pictures



Some photos
and memories
from the 
2012
Wessington Springs
College/Academy
Reunion....





It was a lovely weekend
for flowers and visitors...







There was a steady stream 
of visitors through the cottage and gardens....







Alumni paged through
the many photo albums
and school year books....











There were rare photos 
brought by guests...





And a special scrap book
painstakenly pieced together
by Hazel Carlton....

Here she is pictured
with a quilt given to Mrs. Shay
by her bible students...

and with the Blue Willow China
she graciously donated to the cottage




That afternoon local thespians
re-enacted the original play
written by Kay Kline in 1953
"Facing the Future Unafraid, 
The Lives of Clark & Emma Shay"


Mrs. Shay played by Gwyneth Dean 


the performance 
was directed by Kathy Dean

here she is with 

the play's writer and original producer...

Kathy Dean and Kay Kline







Many talented local people 
got involved in bringing this play
to the stage once again.
