HIGHLIGHTS: The College records show 113 people registered for our Reunion, but our Class always has a fair number of non-conformists who show up and do not register! Friday's Class dinner was at Graham Hall; Friday there was a "State of the College Address." Saturday's lunch was at Davis, Saturday's dinner was at a tent outside Comstock-Wilder, and the Sunday Class Brunch was at Alumnae House. On campus housing was in the quad, and those staying off-campus at the Holiday Inn in Holyoke were treated to a rude middle of the night awakening - a bomb scare! Also we sent and collected a Class Questionnaire, but were not able to publish it. We do, however, have all the questionnaires in a binder for our archives.

HIGHLIGHTS: This was the last year the College held an "All Classes, All Alumni, and Commencement" Reunion; after this year, reunions split into Commencement and second weekend reunions. According to the College 108 people attended Reunion but we fed a lot more than that so we know there were more. We stayed in Comstock/Wilder. Friday's dinner was a clam bake at the Crew House. Our mylar balloons and Class totebags made quite an impact at the Alumnae Parade. (See picture on Home page.) We had a Class panel on Saturday afternoon in McConnell -- "Life as a Thirtysomething ...How we are Coping & Changing" was well attended. Classmate Andrea Haverland Milewski also presented a videotape about Romanian Orphans. Families went on a Nature walk. Saturday's cocktails were in Capen's rose garden, followed by dinner in Davis Ballroom. Courtesy a late night run to Kinkos's, we did finally publish a Class yearbook, and we actually have ONE copy for the class archives.
