Scotia-Glenville
High School's 50 Plus Committee: Reunion on Thursday, June 6, 2013
at Glen Sanders Mansion
Graduates of Scotia-Glenville High School
(and the former Scotia High School) have a
unique program in the 50 Plus Committee.
This committee plans reunions every June for the 50th reunion class
and older classes.
It is typically held on the first Thursday of June at the Glen
Sanders Mansion, Glen Avenue, Scotia.
S-G High School graduates who have reached their 50th year, or
more, since graduation are invited to attend the annual event.
The tradition for the luncheon is that the incoming class from the
previous year has the task of running event for the current year.
The class of 1962 has the honor for 2013.
The email address for the event is

The chairman
of the 2013 Fifty Plus Club Luncheon is Barbara Phillips, S-G
class of 1962. She can be contacted at 518-877-7903 (home) or at

inducted into the 50 Plus Club on June 6, 2013.

A bit of history about the 50 Plus Club
It appears that the "50 Plus Club," as we have known it the past
several years, began as "The Scotia Alumni Association" with Kenneth
M. Lindsay, class of 1924, as president;
Kenneth E. Buhrmaster, class of 1933, as vice president; Ralph C.
Klapper, class of 1932, as secretary; and Chester S. Darrow, class
of 1932, as treasurer.
Earliest available records indicate a "Scotia Alumni Association
Reunion" was held in 1939. Other available records detail a "Scotia
High School Alumni Dinner (The 50 Year Plus)" was held June 8, 1977
and June 7, 1978 at the Walhalla Country Club. Next available
records show that from 1985 through 1988, "50 Year Plus Club
reunions" were held at the Edison Club.
Since 1989, the "50 Plus Club" has been holding an annual reunion at
the Glen Sanders Mansion in Scotia.
