Join us in Williamstown June 6-9, 2019
Get ready to reconnect with friends and classmates in the Purple Valley. Whether you’ve come to every reunion or haven’t set foot on campus since graduation, we hope you’ll join us for a wonderful weekend.
We are still looking for volunteers to help with the Class Book and the Reconnect efforts so if you have any interest in helping a little or a lot, please email the 25th Reunion Program or see below to contact the committee chairs directly.

Each 25th reunion class produces a book featuring autobiographical essays from its members. The book is conceived and edited by the Class Book Committee and often includes historical photos, comments from the president, and essays written by members of the c
lass. This keepsake is sent in the spring, prior to Reunion Weekend, to all members of the class, regardless of whether they plan to attend reunion. The 25th Reunion Office oversees and guides this project to completion.We will be mailing everyone examples of submissions from previous class books in September 2018. In the meantime, be thinking about taking fun photos of you and your family and friends this summer to share in the book. And if you have some extra time this summer, pull out your old Williams photos from the '90s - we want those too!
We are looking for volunteers to help with the Class Book, so if you'd like to help, please contact the 25th Reunion Program or the Class Book Co-Chairs below.
The deadline for personal submissions for 1994's Class Book is October 31, 2018.

Friday evening is a casual dinner buffet for the whole family under the tent on Poker Flats with games and activities available on the lawn, weather permitting. (If rain forces us indoors to the Towne Field House, there will be organized activities there, too.)On Saturday there is a separate 25th kids dinner and activities supervised by counselors at the Williamstown Youth Center (WYC), 66 School Street. This is included in your child's registration fees but it does require advance registration. To sign up, please complete the sign-up sheet and submit to the 25th Reunion Office when you register for reunion in the spring. Parents should plan to check-in their children at WYC at 5:00pm (as well as sign waivers and permission slips – all ages). Dinner starts at 5:00pm. Following dinner, kids will be divided into groups by age and interest. Several choices will be available:
• Arts & crafts
• Outdoor (weather permitting) playground and games like basketball, tetherball, Capture the Flag, etc.
• Movies on large screen TV
• Games like dodgeball in the indoor gym
• Foosball, pool or ping pong
• Quiet time in the Learning Center or the Computer Lab
• Walk to Images Cinema on Spring Street for movies
• Play age-appropriate video games in the game truck
• Trip to Ramblewild for kids 11 and older
WYC counselors will be in charge of each of the groups and a 25th staff person will be on hand at WYC. Groups leaving WYC will compile a list with the name of each child who is away from WYC. Parents are expected to pick up their child(ren) by 11:30pm.
On Saturday a group of teens who have pre-registered will go to Ramblewild ropes course, 5:30-10:00pm. Parents of teens going to Ramblewild need to check-in their child(ren) by 5:00pm, so teens can eat and leave on the 5:30pm bus. The bus will not wait! To sign up for Ramblewild, when you register for reunion in the spring, please complete the waiver and submit both the waiver and $30 payment to the 25th Reunion Office.Teens at WYC will be able to enjoy their own space in WYC. Following dinner, teens can choose from the range of activities above or play Xbox (for teens 12 and older) in the Teen room.
