Hospitality Tent/Class Message Boards

It will serve as a main meeting place for all of the Latin homecoming and reunion activities. Throughout the day, you will find a specially designated area for alumni, seating, refreshments, BBQ lunch, and a place to join your friends and classmates. There will be class message and display boards.
- Latin asks that you please bring copies of photos to share if you wish.
Weather
- October has been unpredictable the fast few years. In the event of rain, outside events, when possible, will be moved inside.
Families
- Latin encourages you to consider this reunion weekend as a time to bring your family to see your alma mater. This is an opportunity to give a more intimate look at the school campus and introduce your family to your former faculty members and to the families of your classmates. There will be games and activities for children in Lincoln Park on Saturday for homecoming and your children are welcome to join in the fun.
