75 years after completion: a class reunion with history in Hermagor
On October 19, a remarkable class reunion took place in Hermagor when the former students of the 4th grade of the elementary school celebrated their 75th anniversary. Despite the time, 17 of the once 40 graduates are still alive in 1949, and ten of them accepted the invitation to spend a convivial afternoon in Lerchenhof Castle.
The first class reunion was launched 40 years ago. Willi Greschitz, one of the organizers, was initiated by his former teacher Sepp Wirnsberger, who complained that he had never been invited. Planning such a meeting was a real challenge without today's possibilities of the Internet.
tradition and cohesion
Since this first meeting, graduates have met at different intervals. Initially, this happened every ten years, later the rhythm was shortened to five and then for two years. For the future, the former classmates plan to gather annually to celebrate their own school days and the common memories.
This type of gathering contributes to maintaining friendships and memories of earlier times. It is impressive to see how the class reunion has grown over the decades and strengthened the community of the former students. Many of these meetings are not only opportunities for nostalgia, but also important events to maintain old friendships and create new memories.
The stories that are shared on such occasions are invaluable. They not only bring the participants back to the roots of their school days, but also promote an exchange about developments in their lives. At this meeting in Lerchenhof Castle, there were comments and anecdotes about the old days and how each one has changed since then.
once again it shows how important such events are for the cohesion of the community. The participants enjoyed not only the society of others, but also the opportunity to spend time together and to refresh the common experiences.
