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.
