Members of the Class of 1962 Reconnect and Reminisce at Their Reunion

Following the game, Rev. Theodore Munz, SJ, who served as president of Loyola Academy from 1996–2009 and currently serves on Loyola's Board of Trustees, and Rev. Jim Gschwend, SJ, who served as a scholastic at Loyola during the 1960s, celebrated a special Reunion Mass in the Chapel. Classmates who have passed away were honored in a memorial video that played before Mass. During this time, Ed Meintzer '62 and Jim Quinn '62 read the names of deceased Ramblers who were in the military.

Next, '62 alumni took a class photo in the East Gym to commemorate their reunion before heading off to the official class party in the Mary and Robert '62 Pasquesi Piazza. Director of Alumni Relations Ashley Sanks '10 welcomed alumni and their guests before dinner was served. Alumni enjoyed a beautiful evening with great food and lively conversation. At this point, Tom Blake '62 greeted his classmates and gave a short speech reflecting on his time at Loyola and the fond memories and close bonds he created here. After this, Loyola Academy President Rev. Gregory J. Ostdiek, SJ, gave a State of the School address to '62 graduates in which he discussed his vision for Loyola Academy.

Then, Bob Pasquesi '62 introduced the James M. O'Loughlin & Class of 1962 Scholarship, which '62 classmates set up as part of their fiftieth reunion in 2012. Since its creation, the scholarship has provided one student with the financial means to attend Loyola. This year, the Class of 1962 hopes to grow the scholarship to support an additional deserving student.
