Harvard has separated its Commencement festivities from the traditional afternoon meeting of the Alumni, giving that gathering —- alumni procession and speeches -- a day of its own. Combined with it are the talks and gatherings over food of the Crimson Society, the collection of all alums who have already celebrated their 50th reunions.

Classmates present for this year’s gatherings on May 30-31, 2024 were Jane Collins, Elizabeth Coons, Lee Daniels, Steve Dittmann, Sally Faith Dorfman-Sirota, Jack Drewry, Paul Harris, Rod Kessler, Jeff Laurenti, Bob Litt, George Schober, John Shutkin, Helen Snively, and Jim Stodder.

Members of the Class of ’72 seen in these photos include Lisa Bob, David Carlson, Vickie Charlton, Lorraine (“Chickie”) Chickering, Janice Hinkle Gregory, Debby Smullyan, Suzy Underwood, and Sharon Weinstein. The Class of l973’s Marion Dry was present too.
