Here’s the plan for the MHS 60th Reunion Weekend: September 25-27, 2026
Friday, September 25
This will be a casual, open day. Many people will just be arriving or spending time with family, so we’re keeping things flexible. We’ll suggest a “default” gathering spot, but feel free to make your own plans with friends. Drop in if you can!
Saturday, September 26
We’re planning a visit to Monroe High School. There may also be a football game that weekend—if so, we’ll coordinate so you can enjoy both. (Fun fact: Monroe was NY State Champion last year—the first Rochester City School to do it!)The rest of the day is yours. We’ll share a list of local spots you might enjoy revisiting or exploring, but you can make it whatever you’d like.
Saturday Evening (6:00 PM)
We’ll gather at the Elmwood Inn (1256 Mt. Hope Ave) starting at 6:00pm for an informal get-together. We’ve reserved a private space so we can actually hear each other and share memorabilia.
- Light snacks will be provided
- Cash bar (you’ll purchase your own drinks)
- If you’d like dinner beforehand, the Elmwood Inn is excellent—call ahead for reservations at
(585) 271-5195
Sunday, September 27
We’ll wrap things up with a casual picnic at Buckland Park in Brighton (1341 Westfall Rd) starting about noon.
- We’ve reserved a pavilion and arranged for a food truck
- Bring your own drinks and anything else you’d like to share
- Come as you are—it’ll be easygoing and fun
Costs
We’re still finalizing details, but we expect the total cost for Saturday evening and Sunday to be well under $60 per person. We know many of you are traveling, so we’re doing everything we can to keep things affordable. Some classmates have even offered to help offset costs—thank you!

GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED:
1) No matter how hard you try, you can't baptize cats.
2) When your Mom is mad at your Dad, don't let her brush your hair.
3) If your sister hits you, don't hit her back. They always catch the
second person.
4) You can't trust dogs to watch your food.
5) The best place to be when you're sad is Grandma's lap.
GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:
1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jello to a tree.
2) Wrinkles don't hurt.
3) Families are like fudge... mostly sweet, with a few nuts
4) Today's mighty oak is just yesterday's nut that held its ground.
5) Laughing is good exercise. It's like jogging on the inside.
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy.
GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD:
1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional.
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you're
down there.
4) You're getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking
chair that you once got from a roller coaster.
5) It's frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers
to ask you the questions.
6) Time may be a great healer, but it's a lousy beautician.
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone.
THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:
1) You believe in Santa Claus.
2) You don't believe in Santa Claus.
3) You are Santa Claus.
4) You look like Santa Claus.
SUCCESS: How true this one is.
At age 4 success is . . . ... Not piddling in your pants.
At age 12 success is ... . . Having friends.
At age 17 success is ..... . Having a driver's license.
At age 35 success is . ... . Having money.
At age 50 success is . .. .. Having money.
At age 80 success is . ... . Having a drivers license.
At age 85 success is ... ... Having friends.
At age 90 success is . .. .. Not piddling in your pants.

The 50th reunion of the MHS Class of 1966 was an unqualified success! the Reunion Committee worked very hard to ensure that our 50th was a reunion to be remembered. During the planning the committee decided to try to keep the events as affordable as possible. The challenge was balancing affordability with value.
