Class of 1962 Celebrates a Milestone! On June 10, 1962, 155 boys gathered at St. John the Evangelist Church in Silver Spring, Maryland, for their commencement ceremony. As the first, four-year graduating class from Our Lady of Good Counsel High School, these young men made a mark in the school history. Many of them embarked upon adventures at universities, in careers and vocations that scattered them throughout the country; yet, their bond as Good Counsel alumni was everlasting. Fifty-years later, in May of 2012, nearly half of the surviving members from the Class of 1962 gathered in the Alumni Gallery at Our Lady of Good Counsel High School in celebration of their 50th Class Reunion. The evening began with dinner in the Dining Hall, where the classmates and their spouses and guests reconnected with one another. For some, this was the first time they had seen one another since their graduation in 1962. Following the dinner, each alumnus received a special 50th Reunion pin and gathered for a class photo. The following morning, the 1962 classmates boarded a chartered bus at Good Counsel and traveled down to the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception in Washington, D.C., for Our Lady of Good Counsel High School’s commencement ceremony. The class of 1962 congregated near our 280 seniors in the crypt of the Shrine. The graduates from the class of 2012 led the procession into the Shrine at 10:00 a.m., followed by the 140 members of the faculty and staff and then the gentlemen from the class of 1962. Dr. Paul Barker, president of Our Lady of Good Counsel High School, spoke to the crowd of nearly 2,000 prior to the announcement of diplomas and awards, and emphasized the importance of our Good Counsel community. Following the commencement ceremony, the 50th reunion graduate and their spouses attended a luncheon at Finemondo Restaurant in Washington, D.C. In October of 2012, the members from the class of 1962 also joined in on the Reunion Weekend festivities. Ed Scuillo reflected on the October events: “[Many of us] met with Greg Wood, the Our Lady of Good Counsel High School Archivist, to video record fond recollections, notable situations and reflections of our Xaverian teachers’ personalities. This video will become an archival part of the 1962 alumni legacy. The Alumni Reception followed with alumni colleagues and spouses sharing 50 years of personal memories and experiences. We were honored and delighted to socialize with Brother Gavin (Tom Murphy). Our many thanks to the staff for coordinating our 50th year reunion and for making this a most memorable year." ✦ Congratulations to the Class of 1962! “Many of the Class of 1962 had never set foot on our Olney campus. Others came om as far away as Haiti, Washington State, and South Dakota. Some had not seen one another in the 50 years since they graduated. What was the attraction e building they knew no longer stands. Yes, but their school does. ey came home to Good Counsel, a place where they are bonded and where they belong. No one came back to recall with fondness how to conjugate a verb, dissect a og, write a thesis paragraph, or solve a quadratic equation. ey returned to celebrate the significance of a part of their identity, their cultural and spiritual DNA – who they are.” —Dr. Paul Barker, President aLumnI 27
