In attendance were Linda Gokey Burdick, Shirley Turner Stomierowski, Lyn Villiere Kinney, Dawn Rivett Corrigan, Liette Dennis, Susan Beckingham Riggs, Nancy Danaher-Light, Lynda Payne Levi, Donna Peters, David Barker, Patricia Stone Smith, Donnie Russell, Mary Roberts Hogan, Sue Ann Lorenz-Wallace, Terry Deis Lehnen and Bonnie Delmarsh.
Classmates that were unable to attend included Pam Eldridge Hameline, Susan Schuyler Hartford, Bonnie Ritz Friesen, Terry Aldrich, Leroy Schmuck and Peter Hansen.
Six students from the class have passed away: Raymond Sponable, Michael Burke, Mark Gebhardt, Norman Ellis, Richard Fulton and Edward Giroux.
