ALUMNI R E UN IO N W EEKEN D 2013
Alumni, faculty and friends gather for the Annual Alumni Faculty Appreciation Celebration Luncheon on Saturday, June 8.
Renewing the Connection Lawrence Academy alumni dodged raindrops to start Reunion 2013, but by the end of the weekend’s activity—as former Spartans enjoyed gorgeous clear skies while reminiscing on the Quad—there was no missing the camaraderie inherent in an LA community awash in the glow of an amazing celebration.

Head of School Dan Scheibe began the annual festivities on Friday, June 7, when he hosted a luncheon for Lawrence Academy’s Golden Alumni and the 50th reunion class of 1963. Following the luncheon, those special guests enjoyed campus tours and updates on the current curriculum from Director of Studies Chris Ellsasser. The evening began with a wine and cheese reception in the Conant Gallery, where they met more recent alumni, including the current exhibition’s artists, Katherine Moore ’06 and Rachel Manly ’05.
Meanwhile, members of the classes of 1968, 1973, and 1978 (as well as other non-reunion year classes from the 70s) joined the Golden Alumni and the Class of 1963 at Park House, where Dan Scheibe and his wife Annie Montesano, as well as LA’s longest-serving employee, longtime faculty (52 years) and current Director of the Jeffers Heritage Center and Whipple Archives Dick Jeffers, and his wife Bev hosted dinner at the head of school’s residence.
