Ensure your participation at this premier event of our 50-year reunion.

The best room rate Marriott University Park can offer is $290 ($329.64 with tax) for September 12 only due to a week-long national convention.

Classmate, Greg Link, will emcee the program.  Link, retired motivational speaker, cofounded former Covey Leadership Center, CoveyLink World-Wide, and FranklinCovey Global Speed of Trust Practice.  He was influential in the worldwide success of 7 Habits of Highly Effective People, The Speed of Trust, and coauthored Smart Trust.

Dr. Donald Ripplinger, beloved choir director, at 92 years young will lead an impromptu and historic choir.  He will invite all willing '69 alumni and guests, who had at any time been in one of his classes, to sing the Skyline Hymn (written by classmate Stan Romney's mother, Elaine Clive Romney, with choir arrangement by Dr. Ripplinger).  Listen to the hymn, and read the music and lyrics on the site page "Skyline Hymn/Campus Tour" of this website.  Dr. Ripplinger will lead us all in the Skyline Fight Song, which he wrote.  At this event, music and lyrics will be provided for the hymn, and lyrics only for the fight song.  Start practicing! 

Multi-talented musician, Ike Egan (Skyline '71), will conduct "Name That Tune" with songs from the '60s. Ike directed and performed with the New Christy Minstrels, cowrote songs, produced records for, and toured worldwide with The Osmonds, sang in hundreds of commercials nationwide, composed the score for Ulysses 31 for over 30 years, and received awards for his contributions to radio broadcasting.  These achievements represent just a snippet of his extensive history of musical accomplishments.  

A 50-year high school reunion comes only once.  It will be a time to enjoy the experience of reconnecting, reminiscing, and rediscovering friends and classmates of our youth.  If you’ve had challenges with money, health, wayward kids, career, marriage, or life itself, you’ll fit right in.  Gained some weight?  Lost some hair?  Been there, done that and don’t care!  Don’t miss this wonderful opportunity.  It will be a time to celebrate survival!
