During Reunion Weekend, (from left) President William P. Leahy, SJ, speaks with Class of ’58 panelists James Murphy, Jr., Paul Fennell, Margaret Molloy Vasaturo, and Pat Brine O’Riordan at a program (which also included Sheldon Daly ’58) entitled “The Way We Were.” Boston College Magazine editor Ben Birnbaum moderated the session on May 30 in Devlin 008 at which class members recalled their experiences of Boston College a half-century ago for an audience of more than 100 classmates and their families. The event was part of an ongoing initiative to gather artifacts and memories from alumni and faculty in anticipation of the University’s 150th Anniversary in 2013. “We are very interested in collecting as much information as we can about the evolution of Boston College,” Leahy said in his introduction. “We want to get at the culture and ethos so future generations of students will have a feel for what this institution was like.” Some 5,600 alumni attended the May 28–June 1 Reunion Weekend festivities, which included a golf tournament, jazz brunch, clambake, dancing, seminars, and the induction of the Class of 1958 into the Golden Eagle Society.
