Reunion Recap
Reunion 2013 was a true tribute to the reunion theme, "Then, Now Always." There was a wonderful turnout for the many activities scheduled throughout the day.
 Of note were the more than 30 alumni who came back to play in the men's and the first-ever women's lacrosse games. Alumnae captain Sarah Knowles '08 and her team cradled to a 9-4 victory over the girls' varsity team. After a more than 10-year hiatus, the men's alumni lacrosse players were back in full force. Alex Champagne '04 led more than 20 players in a mixed varsity and alumni team match that ended in an 11-11 tie!
The Alumni Association held its Annual Meeting, electing new volunteers as officers, board members and committee members. The Milestone Reception in the Carriage House included a special remembrance of Dick Barker '54 and a presentation of the Outstanding Alumni Award to Karl Wadensten '78. The Reunion celebration included attendance of reunion classes and former and current faculty who were back on campus to enjoy great food prepared by Flik and to take a walk down memory lane.
Thank you to everyone who participated; it certainly was a memorable day! View photos here.
