What Melinda Worth Popham wrote following the 130th reunion:

"A reunion is a reminding experience. It touches a core, uplifts like singing — never mind how off-key — an old song whose lyrics and melody, although unsung for decades, are so ingrained as to seem inborn. A reunion is something which, to borrow a word from Dr. Seuss, biggers you. I came away from my reunion feeling biggered through and through. When all is said and done, that is the true and enduring value of a reunion: becoming reunited with yourself."
