Class secretary Jill Hirst Scobie reports: “Greetings to the great class of 1958. Here’s hoping that many of us will gather for our 60th reunion May 25–27, 2018. On Friday, May 25, check-in is at Wriston Quad. Rooms are available for approximately $70 per person in the Keeney Quad, where the rooms have recently been redone and there is an elevator. Be advised that there are no bathrooms in the rooms. If you are planning to room off campus, please make your reservation ASAP as accommodations are going fast and some hotels are running in the $400–$500 range per night and require a three-night minimum. The schedule is as follows: Wine/ beer gathering in one of the lounges in Keeney Quad for ’58 only (3–5 pm) followed by a reception and dinner at the Faculty Club (6–11 pm). We hope to have Dr. Martha Sharp Joukowsky speak on U.S. relations with Turkey and their implications for NATO. For those who do not choose to attend Campus Dance, camaraderie will continue until 11:00 p.m. at the Faculty Club. On Saturday, May 26, there will be university activities, meeting with the president, lectures, and forums with various professors from 8 a.m. until noon. There will be separate class luncheons for Pembroke and Brown alumni under tents adjacent to Maddock Alumni Center (noon–2 pm); class panel discussions in Joukowsky Hall, and more lectures by faculty and honorary degree recipients (2–4 pm). A reception and dinner will be held under a tent in the Starr Plaza located behind the Watson Institute on Thayer Street (6–10 pm) with class awards and an opportunity for another lecture by a class member. Afterglow will be in our designated lounge in the Keeney Quad at 10 p.m. On Sunday, May 27, we will march down the Hill (and, hopefully, back up again), and we will have a final luncheon at the Acoaxet Club, Westport, Mass. (1–3 pm). Personal transportation will be needed for the Sunday luncheon. Our goal is to keep all dinners at our traditional level of $58.00 per person.”
