\u201cThe friendships people made are the number one thing; it was such a small school that still at our 50th<\/sup> reunion we treasure those friendships,\u201d Dottie Simpson \u201961<\/strong>, Reunion committee member, said.<\/span><\/p>\n

There will be lots of laid-back fun that afternoon, followed by a special reception and dinner in the Alumni Center. Not a \u201961er? Bring your lawn chair to the Red & White Night BBQ on the Quad. And everyone is invited to trip the light fantastic at the dance in the Mabel Brown Room later that evening!

\u201cI look forward to everyone coming back. It is going to be fun to see where they have gone since the last time we have been together,\u201d Simpson said. <\/span><\/p>\n

There have been many changes on campus since 1961, but the memories remain undimmed. Many alumni have said the Winter Carnival, tanning on the Fiske roof, and Professor Barnard are some of their fonder remembrances. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Members of the Class of \u201961 went off to pursue many diverse interests after graduation: art, English, science, education, math\u2014you name it. But they all share common memories and the bond of their college years here at Keene.<\/span><\/p>\n
