Andrew Warde High School's Class of 1959 Awards Scholarships to Two FWHS Class of 2010 Students

Andrew Warde High School's Class of 1959 presented two $500 scholarships last night to two students from this year's graduating class at Fairfield Warde High School.

Fifty-year reunion co-chairs Bob Comers and his wife, Mickie, presented the awards to FWHS seniors Jillian Lubrano and John Hanilla during the annual scholarship night at the high school.

"We were able to have some funds left over" following last year's 50-year reunion, Comers told me via email this morning. "It was great to be back in the auditorium."

Comers, a former Fairfield Police Captain who retired after 43 years of service to the community last year, and his wife, Mickie, helped organize the highly successful 50-year reunion last August 22 at Tashua Knolls in Trumbull.

The Andrew Warde High School Class of 1959 was the third graduating class at Warde, and the last group with roots to Roger Ludlowe High School. The classmates attended Ludlowe High School during their freshman year before moving into the new high school in the Fall of 1956.

Fairfield Warde High School's Class of 2010 will hold its commencement exercises this evening. Best wishes to this year's graduates.

Paul
