the 2009 Reunion.

Starting with the classes of 1946 and 1951, representatives of thirteen classes ending with the numbers 1 and 6 will laugh with friends, sleep in their old dorms, and remember their days as Belles on the College’s beautiful campus. The Class of 1961 celebrates its 50th anniversary, and Saint Mary’s athletes are this year’s “affinity group,” so all former student athletes are invited to attend Reunion.
