Greetings fellow Claremont Grads of 1972.

Yes, nearly 40 years have come and gone. It hardly seems possible that another 2 generations have walked down the same halls as we did all those years ago.

Well, comb all those gray hairs (if you’re lucky enough to have hair), and stuff yourself into those one size too small pants and dresses, and come celebrate with us!
