Since the Mary Hare Old Pupils' Association was founded in 1951, several events per year were organized. These included the annual
Dinner and Dance events, which were either black tie or smart casual functions held in hotels. These dinner and dances gave further
opportunities for old pupils (alumni) to gather in reunion.
The webmaster welcomes any additional (verifiable) information for missing years from old pupils of MHGS.
