1945 Yearbook Cover

Just a reminder, the HolyokeMass.com website is more than a blog. Check out the online yearbooks. My mother was in the class of 1945 … any readers have family with that year of graduation?

Hi, my moms name was June Hupfer “junie”, she graduated 1945 from Holyoke High.. She loved Holyoke, she met our father vacationing in Maine the summer after her graduation, and brought him back to Holyoke and they lived together there and raised four children. After 45 years, they finally retired to Maine. they both of since passed. Mom passed in 2001 of Lou Gerhigs disease.. and is sadly missed.. Her children all live in Maine now, but travel to Holyoke once a year to visit relatives and that is of course where we all graduated Holyoke High school, so it holds a lot of memories for us..

Jane Judge graduated there in 1945. She was my second cousin once removed and a fine person.
