145 Attend Picnic
By Tammy Vanderzanden
The Annual Picnic of The Vernonia Society, V.H.S. “Old Grads”,
and Oregon American Alumni was held on August 19th at An-
derson Park. Thankfully, the rain held off for most of the event.
There were approximately 145 people in attendance.
Prizes were presented to Warren Aldrich for the oldest man as well
as the oldest Vernonia High School graduate; Elenore Thompson
and Cookie Polos for the oldest women; and Margaret Aldrich for
the furthest traveler, having arrived from Florida.
The planning committee for this event is often asked why they
don’t have a combined gathering for “all” of the graduates of
Vernonia High School. It seems as though many of the younger
generations are turned away by the terms “Old Timer’s Picnic” or
“Old Grads” as it has become known. However, the organizers
want all grads to know this annual event is for everyone that ever
attended school or lived in Vernonia, and their families. Younger
folks are urged to attend. The picnic is always held on the 3rd
Sunday in August, so mark your calendars now.
