Alumni Reunion Day
TA held its 2nd Annual Reunion Day on August 9th on campus for every class celebrating a reunion in 2014.
Approximately 100 people returned to their alma mater to enjoy a BBQ, a tour, and to celebrate with their classmates!
A similar event will occur next summer for those classes celebrating a reunion in 2015.

Senior Alumni Reunion

This year marked the 21st anniversary of the Senior Alumni Reunion event, which gathers all alumni who have
celebrated their 50th reunion and beyond. On Saturday, September 20th, 200 alumni, in addition to their guests,
returned to campus to celebrate and reminisce with former classmates and old friends. Represented classes ranged
from 1936 through 1963. After a short program in Garland Auditorium that featured the Pledge of Allegiance led by
Col. Fred Clark ’46 and an information session on our 1811 Society by Mary Atkinson Johnson ’51, Headmaster Rene
Menard ‘88 spoke about the connection with TA that our alumni continue to carry with them. Following the program,
TA’s dining service FLIK provided a delicious buffet lunch. The Senior Alumni Reunion has been a treasured tradition
for Thornton Alumni and we look forward to next year’s reunion, which is scheduled for Saturday, September 19th
2015! To see some of the amazing photos from the day go to: www.thorntonacademy.org/reunion.
