CLASS of 1951 ALUMNAE VISIT
|
|
Photo & Story: Viola Gonzalez |
There are times when all you have to do is experience
someone else’s memories to define your own. Recently five
students from the Class of 1951 visited the School of
Fashion Design. The women arrived full of energy and
exceptional warmth. Although the visitors did not study at
the Newbury Street location (all studied at SFD’s original
site on Boylston Street) they quickly became comfortable
chatting and enjoying the facility, while perusing school pictures,
catalogs and articles from the 1950’s and their time at the school.
Rita (Smith) Singer, Janice
Bellew-Daviau, Marlene (Dawson) Poole,
Eleanor C. (Oliva) Bernat and Nancy
M. Hanaford met with one of the classes in session.
These distinguished guests were asked questions as they
shared amusing stories from the past which quickly bridged
the gap between our present day students and the visiting
alumni.
The short questionnaire, which our visitors filled out,
included a question regarding their fondest memories at SFD.
Most memorable to our visitors were the 1951 New York City
class trip, Tea Dances, the 1951 staff members (Mr. Feely,
Mrs. Sinesi, Mr. Burr, Ms. Dalton) and the personalized
attention they received from them. Several hours passed
quickly with stories and laughter. What remained was a group
of women representing many generations sharing a common
bond. |
