Hoyt Miller and Sherm Franz received the Class of 1909 Trophy Cup for having the highest percentage of alumni return for Big Bash. Fifty percent of the Class of 1959 returned to campus and set a new record for the 50th reunion class. Franz quipped, "Do we get to keep this?"

Debbie Billings (Roger ’59) and Bob Wedgeworth ’59 take a close look at the Class of 1909 Trophy Cup.

Not only did the Class of 1959 have the highest percentage of alumni back for Bash (tied with ’34 and Atwood Smith), they also had the largest number of alumni return to campus. A total of 71 alumni signed the official Alumni Register, which is the second highest total in Big Bash history. President White is pictured with Hoyt Miller and Sherm Franz with the 1928 Attendance Trophy.

Because you can't have too many cute baby shots at the Big Bash — Claire Peacock in her "first Wabash T-shirt" — and Dad, Brandon Peacock ’04.

That's Bill Havlin and Todd "Wally" Glass accepting the Robinson-Ragan Award for the Class of 1984, which captured the Alumni Chapel Sing competition over the Class of 1959 by a mere two points (out of 200).

Karl Anderson ’59 and his wife will celebrate their 55th wedding anniversary in a week. They were here with a record-setting number of alumni for Big Bash Weekend.

Tony Dowell coordinated the 50th reunion gift for the Class of 1959 — a gift of more than $1 million that was presented to President White on Friday evening. In this photo, Roger Billings and Bob Wedgeworth accept the Edmond O. Hovey Annual Giving Award for the Class of 1959. The class had 58 percent of its alumni make a gift to the Annual Fund.

The top award for Big Bash Reunion Weekend is the Dorman Hughes Award, which is given to the class agents or reunion chairmen who, by vote of the Alumni Office staff, did the most to bring their class to Big Bash. This year's winners were Hoyt Miller and Sherm Franz for the Class of 1959.
