The 135th Smith College commencement took place this past
Sunday, May 19, with all of the traditional receptions, dinners and special
events over the course of the weekend. It was an exciting time for all
graduating seniors and returning alums. On the other side of the campus on
Saturday, after the Ivy Day celebration, there was another special event: the
annual Smith tennis alumnae gathering. This is not a traditional reception
where visiting and eating were the main activities; this was a round robin
tennis event where players from as early as 1988 competed with recent grads, family
and friends. Let's hear it for
that great lifetime sport of tennis! The afternoon was a wonderful sharing of
memories, both recent and past. If you know of any alumnae who are eager to
catch up with Smith Tennis, please let them know that we have a facebook page
to remember our history. (smithcollegetennisalums) We plan to hold this event
annually!
There will be a similar tennis gathering on Saturday, May
25 during the second reunion weekend. Please join us at the outdoor courts fron
2:30-4pm if you are on campus or in the area.
