Abbey alumni are still talking
about the Class of ‘67 ten-year
reunion held last April,
especially Don Masterson who
surprised everyone by traveling
from Los Angeles just to attend
the reunion.
The following ptjem, written
by Don, seems to indicate that
he was not disappointed with
the reunion. It rriust have been :
worth the long trip!
T’was the 10 year reunion
And all o’er the grounds
The echoes of past times
Were deafening sounds
‘01 Chupko confessed
To a crime still unsolved
But Vito and Creighton
Were never involved
And Drinkwater passed
As he walked a straight line
So Brennan and Farrell
Needn’t help pay his fine
The slides were fantastic
The comments too keen
Bro. Gregory and Kevin
Could’ve really been mean
And Whitlock and Dirt
And Gregnani and Healy
It’s strange to discover
^’ou love ‘em all dearly
We missed all the rest
Who never arrived
^’et we mentioned y'all
As your beer we imbibed
We mixed with the new blood
The changes were many
^’el Abbey ways linger
Like an old good luck penny
Now y’all are included
The next time we meet
Whether 2 years or 20
We’ll all share the treat
Just one thing confuses
And I may never know
That fellow O’Toole
Was he John or ‘ole Joe'.’?
Dr. Bennett Judkins,
chairman of the Sociology
Department at Belmont Abbey
College, has written an article
entitled, ‘Social Movements in
Social Structures.” The article
will be published as a chapter in
a forthcoming book, edited by
Louis Kriesberg: Research On
Social Movements. The book is
expected to be released some
time next fall.
Judkins has also made plans
to participate at a meeting of
the North Central Sociological
Association at the University of
Cincinnati, in May. He has done
research on “Social Movement
Success’ and will provide
discussion of several papers on
that subject at the conference.
Paul Craig, a junior sociology
major at the Abbey and
recipient of a $2,000 scholarship
award, will also participate at
the conference.
This year Belmont Abbey
College’s Department of
Sociology has been funded by
the Gastonia Housing Authority
to provide three students to
study that organization.
Robena Wentz, Mark Kuhn, and
Mary Ellen McGillan were
chosen for the project.
Reunion Set
For Class of ’68
Plans are being made for the
ten year reunion for the class of
l%8 April 21, 22, 23. This
weekend will be held the same
w eekend as Spring Weekend so
that the class of ‘68 can enjoy
the Saturday events of Spring
Weekend which include an
outing on the soccer field with a
circus tent housing, the refresh
ments, band and meal. Outside
\()lleyball, softball and other
‘tun and sun’’ events make the
lay very enjoyable. Father
Oscar Burnett, dean of students
lur freshman vear has invited
the class to have our other
activities at the Chi Rho House.
This new beautiful house
located on perimeter road, is
used by Fr. Oscar for his very
successful Campus Ministry
organization. On Friday
evening all are invited to drop in
to the Chi Rho house when you
arrive. Saturday evening the
class of ’M will have a grand ole
Sock Hop at the Chi Rho house.
So get those white socks, baggy
pants and penny loafers ready.
More details will follow.
We realize that a trip to the
Abbey may involve a lot of
difficulties, but your ten year
reunion only comes once. You
may say that things have
changed and they won’t be like
they were. Well - that’s right.
The Abbey has changed in ten
years - and so have you. Let us
.see what ten years has done to
you and w'e will show you what
ten years has done to the Ab
bey!
See you in April - pass the
word!
