Class of 1969's 56th Reunion Activities and Plans

Registration is Open for Reunions 2025

May 22 - May 25, 2025

Dear 69er,

Reunions are here again, and you’re invited to 1969’s 56th in ’25!  The class of ‘70 is hosting our 56th reunion at its 55th over Memorial Day weekend from Thursday, May 22 - Sunday, May 25.  There will be the usual Alumni-Faculty Forums and other seminars, spectator sports, some involving alumni, arch performances by singing groups and of course the one and only P-rade at 2:00 PM Saturday!  Read through this email, register with the U as described, then CLICK THIS LINK to join the Class of '69 activities.

Home Base:

The two classes either side of ’70, including ’69, will be with ‘70 where our 55th Reunion site was located last year at the Scully Quad, which is within Butler College just off Elm Drive, next to Poe Field.

Class of 1969 activities:

 Our Class will have its own activities including:

• On Thursday evening we are co-sponsoring a magic performance with the Class of 2019 (our grandchild class).  They have arranged for Franco Pascali, a world-class L.A.-based magician to perform several closeup magic sets for alumni in Chancellor Green (click here to see the poster).  There will be three shows over the course of the evening (8, 9, and 10PM), and our Classmates will have priority RSVP access to the shows. We strongly encourage all classmates who plan to attend to RSVP at the form HERE. Though we will be taking walkups day-of, we do expect a sold-out crowd so to confirm your spot please fill out the simple, 1min form above. Thanks!

• Our traditional Hoagie Lunch, Saturday, May 24 before the P-rade  at 12:00 noon at the Class of 1969 Memorial Garden at Murray-Dodge.  No charge for classmates and guest.

• Class of 1969 Meeting and Dinner will take place on Saturday, May 24.
  • Location: Shultz Dining Room School of Public and International Affairs (formerly Woodrow Wilson School).

     § After you have registered with the University, CLICK HERE to complete your registration for the Class of 1969's events.  If you already registered for our events, remember to register with the University, and you're finished.

Housing:

You are encouraged to seek off-campus housing. Questions may be directed to Jeff Marston at 510-384-6784 or jeff69marston@gmail.com.

Off year reunions offer a less hectic, more intimate experience than majors, and as great as our majors are, some classmates actually prefer our off-year reunions. So, seriously consider returning to Old Nassau and be sure to bring your spouse, too!  If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at hcmce@alumni.princeton.edu or 908-238-1969. Uncertain wives should contact Pinky McEldowney at 908-713-1969.

Yours for ’69,
