65th YEAR REUNION 

Our 65th year reunion held on June 10, 2026 was a fantastic affair! Classmate Jan Troisi summed it up perfectly: "Was a wonderful afternoon with special people." The Sudbury Point Grill was the perfect venue - quite a change from the old Twin Maples that we used to frequent. Everyone complimented on the delicious food quality. 

The reunion committee did an excellent job in pulling the event together. Committee members included Gloria and Jim Spratt, Judy MacDonald, Betty Lowe, Greta Kansanniva, Tom Quinn, and Jerry Dee.  Special kudos to Gloria and Jim who coordinated all the details with the restaurant - a very time consuming job in collecting money and back and forth communications with the Point.

There were 17 classmates who attended. Roy Gould phoned in to say hello and reminded everyone of the old record hops featuring the popular DJ duo of Roy and Ray. Do you remember them?

See the Reunions page on this site for group photo and a few candids.

Ben Pakus passed away in May. I remember Ben as a quiet, yet very personable and friendly.

Carol Raikunen has passed away. She was a fabulous classmate, always attended our reunions (until she moved to Florida). Rest in peace, Carol.

Patrick Crotty -  We are all shocked and  saddened  by the news that classmate Pat Crotty has died. Pat was a long time supporter of Class of 1961 activities and very proud of his growing up in Maynard. After graduating from UMass, Pat served many years in the U.S. Air Force where he then was active in veterans affairs. Through all those years, Pat kept in touch with Maynard, mostly through the town's website. He lived a full life.

Checkout the FACULTY section for brief bios of some of our teachers.  You'd be surprised as to how many of our teachers also graduated from MHS.  This work was researched and written by Tom Sheridan, MHS Class of 1966.
