Alumni News for April

Dear Alumni, Parents and Friends,

It’s finally spring at Sem!! The temps have been near 70 this week, trees are blooming, and Alumni Weekend is just days away!

The classes of 1951 to 1991 are celebrating reunions on April 29-May 1 at Sem; it’s not too late to sign up! If you aren’t in a reunion class but would enjoy the dance party Saturday evening under a tent on Back Campus, just let me know you’re coming. LEX ROMANE ’66 and RICK BLUM ’66 will provide the music.

Also, the newest issue of the Journal is now available! Keep an eye on the mail for your copy or view it online.

As always, don't forget to send me your class notes!

This year, students raised 17,852.30!
