Great addition to ÀÖ²¥´«Ã½ history Bruce! Thank you. — Jay

One correction: The caption for the picture of the 1949 commencement at the Lewiston Armory states, “Commencement was moved from the Chapel to the Lewiston Armory in 1949, seen here, and held there until 1970.” Actually our class of ’67 was the first to celebrate commencement in the alumni gym on campus, rather than the armory. Another first then was that Margaret Chase Smith, US Senator from Maine, was our commencement speaker, the first female to be so honored.

More details about commencement venues and Senator Smith’s address can be found in our 50th reunion book published in June, 2017, on or near page 216. Let me know if you’d like me to send you a pdf copy of it!

Thanks very much. -Bruce Lyman, ’67
