We welcomed the largest reunion crowd yet to the 17th Annual Alumni Congé Reunion on Saturday evening, June 9. Forty and Fifty-year Reunion classes accounted for much of that excellent attendance. The high school class of 1962 had planned a weekend of activities around the Congé event which attracted a record number who received gold ribbons from Sister Glavin after the liturgy in the Shrine. The 40-year class was the last high school class to graduate from the Academy. At the end of that school year (1972) an eighth class also graduated, representing the first class of eighth graders to graduate as well. Thus two 40-year classes celebrated at this year’s Congé. In addition to these special groups, there were three 60-year alumnae who had returned.
After the recognition of the honor classes, the Rose Philippine Duchesne Award was presented to two alums: Sister Mary Loretta Busch ’56 and Marlene Schultehenrich Schneider ’56.
