A bit of history about the 50 Plus Club
It appears that the "50 Plus Club," as we have known it the past several years, began as
"The Scotia Alumni Association" with Kenneth M. Lindsay, class of 1924, as president;
Kenneth E. Buhrmaster, class of 1933, as vice president;
Ralph C. Klapper, class of 1932, as secretary;
and Chester S. Darrow, class of 1932, as treasurer.
Earliest available records indicate a "Scotia Alumni Association Reunion" was held in 1939.
Other available records detail a "Scotia High School Alumni Dinner (The 50 Year Plus)"
was held June 8, 1977 and June 7, 1978 at the Walhalla Country Club.
Next available records show that from 1985 through 1988, "50 Year Plus Club reunions" were
held at the Edison Club.
Since 1989, the "50 Plus Club" has been holding an annual reunion at the Glen Sanders Mansion in Scotia.

This history of the 50 Plus Club was included in the June 2001 program.
Thanks to Ken and Flower Buhrmaster, Al and Mary Cooper, Florence Deyo, Margaret Ellis,
Evelyn Madden and Ed and Ann Martinec for their help in compiling these records.
