| On Wednesday October 26, the Millbury Historical Society welcomed back popular past presenter Pat Perry to perform her program "Witches." It has become a tradition of the society to have a Halloween program each year. Pat's innovative, informative and fun-filled program culminated in a witch trial where so-called "evidence" damned the "accused." Members of the audience were conscripted into duty as defendants. Festive Halloween refreshments were served in a suitably-decorated Asa Waters' Mansion. |

| Attention Grandchildren and Children of Millbury High School's Class of 1931 Millbury Historical Society members Mary and Tom Griffith have donated to the Society a number of autographed individual graduation photos of members of the Class of 1931. Mary's mother, Myrtis Kerr, received these pictures from her classmates at graduation. If still alive, these graduates would be ninety-eight years old and celebrating their 80th high school reunion! With the approval of Mary and Tom, the Society will donate any of these pictures to family members who may want them. If you think your family member may be among the Class of '31, please contact Millbury Historical Society president Frank Gagliardi at 508-865-4192. |
