The Graham's by Guy Friddell

Guy Friddell, wrote an article about The Graham School in Norfolk back in the 1980's. I remember the one and only reunion as a very pleasant experience. It took place at the Norfolk Yacht and country club. Sue Mullins, Molly Holt and I rode in from the beach together. Mrs Deal, who produced the yearly plays for the Grahams, was the only teacher to attend. 

Miss Osbourne, taught us Latin. I still can recite by heart the first paragraph of Caesar's Gallic Wars. I really didn't learn my vocabulary as well as I should have. I panicked every time we had an exam, and memorized as much as I could. Very foolish girl.There was enough Latin that I managed to remember that ended up helping me greatly with my Art History classes in college.  It allowed me to read some Italian for Renaissance Art.
