REUNION

WELCOME BACK

75TH ANNIVERSARY ISSUE | REUNION0 1 GILMOUR ACADEMY GLEN OAK SCHOOL WELCOME BACK

After Reunion 2020 had to be canceled due to COVID, Reunion 2021, for class years ending in 0s and 5s and 1s and 6s, was double the fun. Held September 24-25, it was a weekend of friends, families and memories for the more than 230 alumni who attended various events, including the Alumni Man and Woman of the Year presentation (see pg. 52 for all the details about this year’s honorees Frank Stanton ’61 and Sally Hurley Koepke G.O. ’77), the Friday Night Welcome Home Party, the Saturday morning Golden Lancers Brunch for the Classes of ’70 and ’71, a tailgate before the football team took on rival US (and came away with the W!) and the Alumni Reunion Mass led by Fr. John Blazek, C.S.C. ’58 The weekend’s festivities culminated on Saturday evening with all Reunion classes celebrating at the Head of School cocktail reception and dinner. The Reunion Cup was presented during the party, recognizing the class with the largest percentage in attendance. Congratulations to the Class of ’71, who took Reunion by storm with 45% of the class in attendance! The Class of ’60, which was celebrating its postponed 60th Reunion, won the Reunion Cup for the 0s and 5s classes with 33% of their class in attendance. With the exception of the Man and Woman of the Year Awards ceremony and the Alumni Mass, all the weekend’s events were held outdoors under the open-sided tent that remained after the previous weekend’s Gala. It allowed us to keep everyone safe while providing a great venue for attendees to rekindle old friendships and reconnect with the school.
