The Class of 2011 was among those marching in the alumni parade during Reunion weekend. Hundreds of alumni from 42 class years participated in the parade across Memorial Walk on the Asa Packer Campus. Over four days chockfull of music, food and camaraderie, Lehigh alumni from 42 class years—beginning with the Class of 1950—were able to celebrate their reunions on campus for the frst time in three years. The pandemic had led to the postponement of Reunion 2020, and again, Reunion 2021, resulting in an unprecedented number of classes returning in June. “It’s wonderful. It really brings back the memories,” said Terry Prince ’71 ’99P as he lined up with his classmates preparing to march in the historic Parade of Classes on Saturday morning. Prince fondly recalled studying in Linderman Library among the stacks of books, the peace and quiet occasionally interrupted by the clinking radiators. Hundreds of alumni participated in the parade across Memorial Walk on the Asa Packer Campus. Each class put on a performance for a panel of judges who determined which group took home the coveted Petty Flag. Some classes were backed by the Marching 97, while others chose pre-recorded songs, like the Class of 1987, which gave a lively performance singing along to “Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go” by Wham! and “(I’ve Had) Members of the Marching 97 and Lehigh Alumni Band provided music for the event. 2 4 | L E H I G H B U L L E T I N
