60th Reunion for the Class of 1964
Welcome Back!
The Class of 1964 will celebrate your 60th reunion September 13-15 and we can’t wait to see you back on campus!
Event Overview
The festivities begin at lunch on Friday! We will gather at the Benson University Center for the Golden Deacs Luncheon where we will have a class photo and receive our 60 year pins. Look for tables marked for the 60th Reunion, so we can sit with classmates. The afternoon offers multiple opportunities including Party So Dear which begins at 4:30 p.m. On Saturday, we will continue the tradition of having our Saturday morning brunch at the home of Jim and Nancy Mattox at 1546 Overbrook Avenue which will be a great way to see one another. Later that afternoon enjoy the Alumni Tailgate and the WFU vs Ole Miss football game. Whew, it’s going to be a fun but busy weekend!
Game tickets are available directly through the ticket office by calling (336)758-3322 or online at godeacs.com . More exciting plans for the weekend are being finalized, so check back for updates.
I hope you’ll make plans to join us for a memorable weekend! Contact your friends, make your hotel reservations, and keep checking this website for more information as the weekend gets closer. Looking forward to seeing you September 13-15!
Go Deacs!
