Class reunion held Dec. 27 A reunion of the classes of 1942 and 1943, of the Abbotsford High School was held at the Sky Lite club on Saturday, Dec. 27. It was so successful that it was decided to have another one in two years. A committee composed of Mr. and Mrs. Jack Kelsey, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Goldamer, Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Laabs and Clyde Waldhart, will make the arrangements for the
next event. The committee for this reunion included Mr. and Mrs. Myron Greaser, Mrs.
Dick Preller, Mrs. Warren Phaneuf, Edward Kramer and Mrs. Bob Goldamer.
Jack Kelsey acted as toastmaster and each classmate recounted some anecdote of the intervening years since graduation. Prizes were awarded to Mr. and Mrs. Norbert Buss, the couple from the greatest distance; Mr. and Mrs. Harold Papenfuss, for the largest family; Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Laabs, for being married longest; Miss Leona Garbarski, the most eligible girl and Chester Jacobi, the most eligible bachelor.
After the dinner the group attended the benefit dance at the new gymnasium in Abbotsford.
Those attending included Mr. and Mrs. Norbert Buss, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Papenfuss, Clyde Waldhart, Lt. and Mrs. Wayne Shookman and Mrs. Warren Phaneuf, Mr. and Mrs. Clifford Nenzel, Mr. and Mrs. Fritz Laabs, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Haas, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Kelsey, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Nikolay, Mr. and Mrs. Myfon Greaser, Mr. and Mrs. Bob Goldamer, Chester Jacobi, Edward Kramer, Miss Leona Garbarski and Jim Brown.
Abbotsford taverns must close Sunday mornings The Abbotsford Common Council, at its meeting Dec. 27, reversed its decision, temporarily at least, which allowed taverns to be open in the city of Abbotsford Sunday mornings.
The action was taken when, Joe Andreshak, Abbotsford, representing all taverns with liquor licenses with the exception of Kramer’s IGA, presented a signed petition which asked that taverns remain closed Sunday mornings. Those signing the petition were apparently irked that the council had not consulted them prior to adopting a new ordinance.
A special meeting with tavern owners and the licensing committee will be held later this month. Until then, all establishments in Abbotsford with liquor licenses must not be open for business Sunday mornings. Last month, the council agreed to repeal a 38-year-old ordinance which did not permit the sale of alcoholic beverages from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Since the ordinance did not have a penalty provision, councilmen felt a new ordinance should be adopted and instructed Frank Nikolay, city attorney, to draw up a repealer ordinance. The new ordinance would have allowed taverns to be open Sunday mornings.
In other business, the council was concerned with a possible construction problem with the new nursing home.
