Class of 1973
In 1973, it was hard to imagine turning 50, but now it is 50 years since we graduated. Do you remember sitting in the stairwell of your dorm talking to friends and strumming guitars? How about traying in the cemetery or on the hill outside Lilly Library? Late night studying to pass History of Civilization? Or possible off-campus study, Mask and Mantle, folk dancing on Friday nights or athletics?
Our 50th reunion awaits you to reconnect, catch up and create new memories. Come back to the Heart for planned dinners on Friday and Saturday nights, along with other festivities we are planning. We hope to see as many classmates as we can!
“We gather sticks, kindled a fire, and left it burning.”
Your giving goal
The Class of 1973 has a goal of raising $400,000 across 100 donors. Join your class with a gift in honor of your reunion and support Earlham students on their journeys for good.
