WINTER 2014-2015<br />
reunion recaps<br />
The Classes of 1954, 1964, 1974, 1979, 1984, 1989 and 1994 celebrated class<br />
reunions this past fall. Several hundred alumni and their families registered at<br />
the alumni tent at the Homecoming football game. The family-friendly tent<br />
was a big hit for the little ones who enjoyed pumpkin decorating and other<br />
fun games. Nearly 100 alumni athletes attended the alumni girls’ volleyball,<br />
boys’ and girls’ basketball and hockey games in which the former players<br />
were recognized. Below, members from the class of 1954 and 1964 attended<br />
the annual PCHS Thanksgiving Mass and enjoyed a reception afterward.<br />

The Class of 1974 celebrated their 40-year reunion in late November.<br />
