Or join us for a Reunion Weekend
March 20-21, 2026

It’s been a long time since we all had a chance to spend some quality time together and properly catch up.
So why not plan on joining us for a spectacular Reunion Luncheon or a whole weekend filled with opportunities to reconnect.

Check out the schedule below to see what’s in store. Do as much or as little as you like —join us just for the luncheon, one of our free events, a walk, a drink, or an open mike night. 

Scroll down to see who’s already coming and find a little bit about what they’ve been up to.

You’re also welcome to attend if you were a member of one of our neighboring classes.

PAYMENT

We are only able to accept Venmo payments

Yes, that means if don’t already have it on your phone, you’ll have to download it! (We know technology can be frustrating at our age.)

If you’re on your computer, scan the QR Code below — with your phone. However, if you’re looking at this on your cell phone, the QR Code won’t function. In that case, go to your Venmo account and type in our account name exactly — it’s case sensitive and there is a space before Reunion. Thank you. (Now that wasn’t too difficult, was it?)

Some shots from our 40th reunion . . .

For our 40th reunion (April 9, 2016) we joined forces with the Class of ’75.  
109 Classmates participated for a spectacular day of reconnecting. Lots of old friendships were reactivated as dozens of Facebook comments attested to. The day started with a Meet & Greet at the DeWint House in Tappan, followed by a buffet lunch at the ’76 House, then a tour of TZHS with Charlie Cross as our guide, then a light dinner at dVine in Sparkill, and ending with a final get together at the Holiday Inn in Orangeburg. It was a blast.

And . . . through the auction we held at the luncheon, we raised almost $4000 and gave 8 scholarships to graduating seniors. Well done!

In Memoriam: Remembering our classmates . . .

As a committee, we were shocked to discover that so many of our classmates had predeceased us. We remember them vividly and smile at the stories we can tell of fun times and adventures and even a few stupid things we did. Forgive us for we were young.
Take a few moments and scroll through the slideshow below and remember the time we shared and the fond memories we now cherish — the times before we grew into who we are. From 50 years on, we can look back at our age of innocence.
Rest in peace friends, you are not forgotten. 
The End of the Innocence
Remember when the days were long and rolled beneath the deep blue sky?We didn’t have a care in the world with mommy and daddy standin’ by.“Happily ever after” fails, we’re poisoned by these fairy tales . . .
But, I know a place where we can go that’s still untouched by the men. We’ll sit and watch the clouds roll by, tall grass waving in the wind.You can lay your head back on the ground. Let your hair fall all around me.
Offer up your best defense. This is the end, oh, this is the end of the innocence.
 
Who knows how long this will last, now we’ve come so far, so fast.
But somewhere back there in the dust, that same old town in each of us.
I need to remember this. So baby give me just one kiss
and let me take a long last look before we say goodbye.
Just lay your head back on the ground. Let your hair fall all around me
Offer up your best defense. But this is the end, this is the end of the innocence

Some classmates were camera shy and did not appear in the Class of ’76 year book so we were not able to include their senior photos here.

Please let us know if there are any classmates we do not know have passed. [email protected]

Thank you for getting the word out.

See you soon!
