The Class of 1955 will celebrate its Golden Reunion this weekend. The classes of 1950, 1945, 1940 and 1935 (six couples plan to attend for their 70th reunion) will also be honored.
Schedules include time for alumni to explore the UMaine campus. Places they may visit include the renovated and expanded Memorial Union, Hudson Museum, Page Farm and Home Museum, Carnegie Hall art exhibits, Lyle E. Littlefield Gardens and the Fay Hyland Arboretum, along with the University of Maine Museum of Art in downtown Bangor.
Guided tours of Fogler Library, UMaine athletics facilities, the Advanced Engineered Wood Composites Center and other UMaine facilities will be offered on Saturday.
