For your information Reunions a chance to see old friends The Alumni Association is hosting several reunions this academic year. Two reunions, the Alumni Marching Band's annual gathering and the Inn Group reunion, will be conducted during Homecoming Weekend, Oct. 26 through 28. Members of the Alumni Marching Band will participate in the Homecoming parade and join current band members on the field during halftime. (See the Homecoming calendar on Page 31 for details.) The Inn Group, made up of alumni from the 1940s and early 1950s, will participate in pre-football game activities and a cocktail party. Alumnae and their families are invited to return to campus April 18 through 21 for A Celebration of Woman reunion and conference, and the Class of 1952 is invited to the Golden Reunion May 10 through 12.
