The class of 1927 of Pembroke high school held its 30th reunion Friday evening at Revel's Tavern, between Hamlet and Rockingham. Eleven of the thirteen members were present: One is dead and one was absent.
A social hour of reminiscence followed the serving of a fried chicken dinner. Beginning at eight o'clock, the affair lasted until after ten.
