Members of the Hill College 1947-48 state championship football team (and some from 1946) held their annual reunion Friday at the college, sharing stories and renewing long-time friendships. They were hosted by past-Hill College President Bill Auvenshine, and addressed by Mike Farhat, whose father supported and sometimes fed the team at his diner.
