A
"memory" page was sent to class members and made available at the
reunion for class members and friends to fill out. I am waiting
for a
few more to be returned and will have EC compile the replies and mail
them out to class members for whom the Alumni office has a current
address. If have not yet sent one in, please click the memory
page
image below and print out a copy and then mail it directly to me so
that I can include yours in the final compilation. I will wait
until
about November 10th to send them on to the Alumni office. The
copy you
can download is in Adobe pdf format. If you need to, you can
download
the free Adobe Acrobat reader via the link below.

About The 1960's Elmhurst College Football Players Reunion:
The efforts of Don Taylor (class of 1963) to arrange a reunion
of EC football players of the '60's was a success. It was great
to see
others from classes on either side of the Class of '65. Stories
were
told, beer was consumed (other than at Koenig's), and together we
enjoyed look back. I personally hope that we can do something
similar
at the 45th! Don's original letter, his list of players of the
'60's,
and football pictures from the Elms of 1961 through 1965 can be viewed
below in pdf format. If

This page is maintained to encourage the Elmhurst
College
class of 1965 to remember classmates and our lives on the Elmhurst
College
campus during 1961 through 1965. The page will updated occasionally to
provide class and college news and appropriate reunion
information.
An e-mail list is provided to help class members "reconnect".
The Class of '65 matriculated in an era when rapid
social
change was compounded with foreign conflict. When we began as Freshmen,
chapel was mandatory as were womens' hours. By the time we graduated,
we
had participated in the resurgence of Elmhurst athletic success, had
felt the loss of "Camelot" through the tragic assassination of J.F.K,
and
had marched in Selma with Dr. King. With graduation, some began to
serve
the church, others served all of us through their military service,
while
still others broadened their education and ultimately settled into a
variety
of careers. In the intervening years, some have retired, while
others
we remember in death.

LOOKING BACK THROUGH THE EYES OF THE Elms
(Click on an album to go to a specific year;
currently
not all work is complete )
how how strange music emanated from
the top of Niebuhr during finals one year? What other campus mysteries
might need an answer? At our last reunion one classmate recently
explained the missing
flatware
that took a long winter's nap under the ice in Wilder Park--remember
the
Board of Directors having to use soup spoons in the commons with the
rest
of us? I'm told that the President even received an anonymous letter of
apology regarding the ice cold flatware. Our 30th reunion
provided
an answer to why a German people's car ended up in chapel instead of on
the autobahn. Those of us who attended the 35th reunion had a great
time
even though the weather was unreasonably and unseasonably cold.
Listen to familiar audio clips (have patience,
these wav files take a very long time to load, ultimately they will be
reduced in size to load faster) by clicking an album label:
Enriched by how, and what we learned, our time at
EC---spent
with each other and a faculty we grew to know as friends---immensely
affected
each of us. As class members and/or their families view this
page,
let us reflect on the way things have changed in the time since our
graduation.
Friendships made long ago can again be renewed in 2005. Join us
on
campus then for our 40th Homecoming!
