Rockland class marks 70th reunion
ROCKPORT — Ben Perry never intended to lead reunions for his high school class. He simply heard wrong. One day in the early sixties, he happened to be sitting in the back of a meeting as elections were held for officers. When he heard the speaker ask for someone to stay after and help clean, he raised his hand and said, “I’ll do it.” His name was announced to the group. Someone made a motion, and then a second to the nomination. From that day on, as Class President, he’s been inviting his classmates to gather with him in celebration of the Rockland District High School Class of 1954; the first reunion was held in 1964.
