WE ARE READY TO CELEBRATE YOU! We are thrilled to welcome our amazing alumni back for the 2021 Hornet Homecoming and Alumni Weekend on October 22-23. Country Day is doubling down for twice the fun for our first-ever double reunion year, with a bigger-thanever celebration of reunion classes ending in 0s, 1s, 5s, and 6s as well as all Hornet Alumni! Whether you are returning to campus for Hornet Homecoming or gathering as a class off-campus, you’ll be surprised at how quickly the years have slipped away and pleased to hear about what’s happening at Country Day today! We plan to share updates via email, social media, and on savcds.org/alumni as they become available. In the meantime, follow us on Facebook and Instagram to find throwbacks and flashbacks of much simpler days.

Help build the momentum for your upcoming reunion by joining your Reunion Committee! Reunion volunteers are the key to a fun and successful event. Alumni have the best insight into the kind of celebration their classmates would enjoy, making a real difference in the quality of the experience. Whether calling friends to invite them to reunion events or assisting in planning your party, alumni involvement is what makes it a great occasion for everyone. For more information about becoming a volunteer for your Reunion Committee, email Amy Pinckney ‘85 at pinckney@savcds.org.

Pape alumna Louise (Oliver) Maner celebrated her sixth grandchild’s graduation from Savannah Country Day on May 22. Louise Mercer ’21 joins third generation Hornet alumni, Margaret Mercer ’18, Isabelle Maloney ’12, Oliver Maloney ’11, Camille (Mercer) Lyon ’09, and McCay (Mercer) Crumley ’07.

1959 Dale Thorpe writes, “Cornelia (McIntire) ‘Connie’ Hartridge passed away this winter. Connie was a class associate having attended Pape and Savannah Country Day until 11th grade. In addition, Gordon Saussy Varnedoe, husband of Catherine (Ehler) Varnedoe, died this spring. Catherine was a class associate attending Pape and Savannah Country Day when she was in Savannah.”

1963 Barrie (Myrick) Bradley is coming home! Barrie and her husband Jerry moved to Bluffton at the end of May, and they are looking forward to seeing a lot of old SCDS friends. Also, granddaughter Lillian Belzer ’21 just graduated and is off to Bryn Mawr in the fall. Barrie shares: “We are so proud of her!”

1964 With much sadness, the Class of ’64 reports the death of John Victor on May 15, 2021, in Savannah. Myrtle Heery writes, “My son Jamie and his bride Michelle (originally from Nashville), who live in California, have chosen a destination wedding in Savannah in late June! I will be hosting, along with my Savannah family, a ‘Welcome to Savannah’ dinner for out-of-town guests the night before the wedding at Collins Quarter at Forsyth Park. I have shared with Collins Quarter that, in 1951, my kindergarten class from Pape School would sometimes eat our brown bag lunches in Forsyth Park! They would love to have a photo of that time, so if anyone has a photo, please send it to the Collins Quarter. I am thrilled to be returning to Savannah with my California family.”
