Grads enjoy Heritage on the Hil

Shorter College graduates who have celebrated their 50th class reunion gathered on campus in early May for the annual Heritage on the Hill celebration. Fourteen members of the Class of 1959 marked the 50th-anniversary of their graduation by taking part in the college’s Spring Commencement exercises. The group then joined their fellow graduates for a luncheon in the Austin Moses Room.
