MANNINGTON TWP. — Filling up the vocational-technical school here, Salem County men age 70 and older gathered to celebrate the 78th annual Old Boys Night on Thursday.
While the joyous men arrived and signed in, they received an “Old Boys 2011” pin then entered the all-purpose room to enjoy free evening of festivities.
This year, a total of 235 Old Boys turned out to reunite and mingle with old friends, many of whom they had not seen since last year’s event.
“I loved coming here because I see all the people I got to work with before (retirement). About one of the only time I can see them is by coming here,” Paul McKelvey, 76, of Alloway said. “I’m one of the young ones, that’s right.”
The party is a traditional event, started in 1933, celebrating life and old age.
Salem County Old Boys Club Committee President Colson Iredell, 81, said the Old Boys Party began 78 years ago in Woodstown

Honda unveils 2012 Fireblade
27.09.11
Honda has officially unveiled its revised CBR1000RR Fireblade for 2012 - a model which celebrates 20 years of this iconic sports bike following its debut as a CBR900RR in 1992.
The new machine was revealed simultaneously at two world class racing events - the Le Mans 24 hours round of the Endurance World Championship in France, and the eleventh round of the World Superbike Championship in Imola, Italy, to great praise from attending race-goers.
The revised Fireblade sports a new styling package with a more angular front end, layered main fairing and revised tail section, with new front and rear suspension providing a key new feature. Introduced for the first time on a production motorcycle, an advanced new rear shock uses a double-tube design to ensure smoother and more accurate response, superior damping and improved traction. The front features inverted 43mm telescopic front forks with Showa’s Big Piston technology, offering improved damping, increased front tyre grip and better stability under braking. The two combined provide for unrivalled traction without the need for electronic aids in this area.
