Dear Classmates:
I
can’t wait! In just four weeks, on the Saturday of our Reunion, 400+
79ers will gather behind Nassau Hall to join the P-rade! At 2:00 that
day, the Nassau Hall Bell will toll to begin the P-rade. We will cheer
the Old Guard as they lead the P-rade and then celebrate our great
fortune to be members of the Princeton Family. Thousands of proud alums,
from age 20 to 100, will march through the center of our iconic and
beautiful campus, cheered on by family, friends, faculty and
townspeople.
I will show off my orange 79 collar that blends perfectly with my black fur – too bad my paws aren’t orange!
We
will be led on our march by the Big Apple Marching Corps who have
practiced a fantastic rendition of We Are Family. And 20 of your
classmates, with bright orange whistles, will lead groups of classmates
who will join a dance step singing “We Are Family…….I’ve got all my
classmates with me” as we march through campus. Here’s how the dance
step, which is a simple five steps forward and a twirl to the right,
with our hands raised, looks as performed by 3 very brave and foolish classmates.
We need YOU to step up and be a whistle blowing dance leader, volunteer by writing me - by volunteering, P-rade will be even more fun for you!
A reminder:
| • | Send a picture
of you with your family (nuclear, extended, friends, classmates, or
however you define it) for you to carry in the P-rade – we will print
and mount it for you. |
Come back to Old Nassau! The clock officially ticks toward our 40th reunion, May 30 to June 2, 2019!
