CLASS reunions
Class of ‘59
Celebrates With
Gifts of $59,000
The Chaminade, Julienne and St. Joseph’s Class of 1959 held
their 50th reunion weekend September 18-20 with over 200
graduates in attendance. The weekend provided the perfect
opportunity for friends to reconnect and share fond memories
in celebration of their golden anniversary.
The Chaminade men
had a great time Friday
night in the school’s
cafeteria reminiscing
about their days at
Chaminade, while the
Julienne women
celebrated their stag
night at Franco’s
Restaurant and enjoyed a tour of historic Carillon Park the
next day. On Saturday, St. Joseph’s alumnae met at the Dayton
Women’s Club for a wonderful evening while Chaminade and
Julienne graduates met at NCR Country Club.
The weekend was highlighted by the announcement that the
class was well on its way to achieving its class gift goal of
$59,000 for Chaminade Julienne. The class gift was an effort
led by several members of all three of the predecessor schools.
“We are elated to announce that the class has reached its goal,”
said Mike Lehner, alumni admissions coordinator. “This record
class gift will help the annual fund accomplish its own goal of
providing excellent services to our students.”
