I'm not sure I want to attend our reunion. Why should I?

  • Here are just a few of the many reasons to attend this reunion...
    • Catch up with old friends. Over 60 years our classmates have had lots of adventures and some amazing experiences to talk about.
    • Tell and hear great stories about things you did while we were at Manual.
    • See your friends in person.
    • See how much Indianapolis has changed. It is nothing like the city we knew in 1964.
    • Show off those kids and grandkids. We all like to share our family photos.
    • Honor our friends who are no longer with us. We will do that Saturday evening.
    • See how much everyone has changed. And be assured, we ALL have changed.
    • Biggest reason of all - have a good time! We have tried to plan events that will allow everyone to have a good time.

I don't remember a lot of people. Who will be there? Will we be wearing names tags?

  • Yes. At each event, for each person who registered, we will have Large Font name tags with our high school photo. Be sure to check out the "Who Will Be There" page. We are listing everyone (with their yearbook photo) who "plans to come" and we are listing those who are "already registered" so you can see who is coming!

Are any of the reunion events free?

  • Yes. The Thursday "Meet and Greet" will offer free snacks and soft drinks, "The Manual Mile", and "The Neighborhood Tour" are also free. However, the evening events will all have a Cash Bar, and the Tour will be followed by a luncheon and we will each pay for our own meal.
