Reunion

R

eunion 2010 had a record number of alumni returning to Friends, catching up with classmates and faculty members throughout the weekend. The class of 1960 kicked off the festivites on Friday, May 14, with a luncheon in the Alumni Room followed by dessert with their 4th grade pen pals in their classroom. Later in the evening the 50th reu­nion alumni and their spouses convened at Il Cortile in Little Italy for their class dinner, generously sponsored by an anonymous donor. Activities continued on Saturday morning when alumni and their families took to the classrooms at Friends for faculty seminars led by Christina Moustakis (Faculty Emerita), Bob Rosen, Bram Hubbell, Anna Swank and Judy Adams Ander­son ’66. Diverse gener­ ations of alumni sat alongside each other for discussions around Huck Finn, Jazz and the teaching of Arabic. Following a barbeque luncheon in the Outer Couryard, alumni moved into the Meeting­­house for the Faculty/Staff Emeritus Ceremony and Meeting for Worship. History teacher Charlie Blank paid tribute to Emerita Jean Johnson and lower school teacher John Behling read remarks prepared by Emerita Helen Trapasso honoring Emerita Mary Lou Sunderwirth. Throughout the day current stu­ dents led tours of the School including a visit to the Rosenquist Gallery, where the talents of alumni visual artists—Ivan Chermayeff ’50, Barnett Hodes ’60, Eric Lee ’75, Brian Delacey ’80, Leo Sorel ’80, Cassie Taggart ’85, Lizabeth Arum ’85, Derek Wiesehahn ’85, David Gilbert ’00, Harry Bogosian ’05, Remi Gendron ’05, and Matthew Weiss ’05—were showcased. The curatorial prow­ ess of Sabrina Blaichman ’05, Caroline Copley ’05, Andrea Crane ’86, Genevieve Hudson-Price ’05 and Martina Yamin, parent of alumni from ’83 and ’85, brought this unique show together. Reunion festivities concluded with cocktails at Angelo & Maxie’s Steak­ house on Park Avenue and individual reunion class gatherings throughout the weekend. | f 1.
