 A record number of 300 members of the 50th reunion class and their spouses returned for Alumni Reunion Weekend June 11-15. As part of one of the most highly attended reunions ever, the Class of 1958 paraded into Saturday morning's Alumni Celebration in Kresge Auditorium to the strains of "Seventy-Six Trombones" from The Music Man. However, the golden anniversary celebrants wrote new lyrics – both humorous and sentimental – to mark their milestone return to the Greencastle campus.
Dr. Ferid Murad '58 and E. Mitchell Roob Jr. '83 were speakers for the golden and silver reunion classes.
