We are happy to report that we have now met the minimum number of attendees required for the venue, so our party is on!

John will now start cashing registration checks.  We are no longer constrained by the March 6^th venue deadline, so if you would like to join the attendees listed below, get your checks in as soon as you can.

The 55^th Year Reunion on September 26, 2026 at the Jumping Brook Country Club in Neptune, N.J.  Attached below are all the details, including the menu, hotel information, and registration form. Please don’t wait until the last minute. 

We are sending this info to all who have given us their email addresses.  We will also post it in our Class Facebook group, other Irvington Facebook Groups, and on this website. Why not reach out to a classmate with whom you have contact information to ensure they are aware of the event?  

Based on your feedback from the 50+ reunion, we will be having a daytime event (11AM – 4:00PM) which will include hors d’oeuvres, a buffet, and a cash bar.  Also, based on your feedback, we are not having a DJ, but we will be streaming music from our time and are planning to have a slideshow of pics we have accumulated from our High School years and reunions that we will project on a screen in the banquet room.  Dig out any pictures you may have and send them to the class email address, and we will include them in the slideshow.  We are also again planning a memorial for the classmates who have sadly passed.

If you have any questions, please direct them to the class email address ihsclassof1971 at gmail.com.  We hope to see you in September, and until then, stay safe and send those registration forms with your checks in ASAP!

 “So, it’s the laughter
 We will remember
Whenever we remember
The way we were”
“The Way We Were”

Now that the holidays are over and the new year is here, it’s time to start thinking about our Reunion.  We hope you are looking forward to it and will be joining us for our 55^th Year Reunion on 9/26/26 at the Jumping Brook Country Club in Neptune N.J.   

Can you believe that on 9/26/26, it will be 5.5 decades, 55 years, 663 months, 2,883 weeks, 20,186 days, 484,464 hours, over 29 million minutes, and almost 1.8 billion seconds since we graduated from IHS on June 22, 1971?  There are times that our bodies feel every one of the seconds we have lived, and yet many of us still have that spirit of a 17-year-old in our minds.  The Spirit of ’71!      

This reunion will be the 6^th time we have formally gotten together as a class, post-graduation (10^th, 20^th, 25^th, 38^th Just Because and 50^th).  Did you make them all?  Did you make any of them?    

This September, we’ll gather once again as friends, ready to celebrate the memories, milestones, and, for some, the lifelong bonds that began all those years ago. Our 55th reunion is more than just an event; it’s a chance to laugh, reminisce, and reconnect with classmates who helped shape who we are today.

Attached are all the details, including the menu, hotel information, and registration form. We are asking that you register and send in your check by March 6^th to ensure we have enough interest to meet the venue’s minimum required paid attendees.  
Please don’t wait until the last minute.   
Note: John Manning will not be cashing your checks until we have the minimum required guests.  As we get paid attendance commitments, we will update you via a post on Facebook and periodically via email for those not on Facebook.

We are sending this info to all who have given us their email addresses.  We will also post it in our Class Facebook group, other Irvington Facebook Groups, and on this website. Why not reach out to a classmate with whom you have contact information to ensure they are aware of the event?
