MSHS Class of 1965 enjoyed great weather, great food and great conversations at the picnic on July 7th, 2023 at Marquette Commons

The 55+2 Reunion 

The class of 1965 FINALLY had their 55th reunion...2 years late.  This was an MSHS 1965 reunion only as Baraga chose not to join us.

On Friday, July 8, 2022, we gathered at the NMU Northern Center Ballroom for a mixer, heavy hors d'oeuvres, a presentation by noted local historian and media personality, Jim Koski, 60s music and even some dancing.  It was a great time and we had a good turnout including several classmates who hadn't attended a reunion in many years.  We also celebrated our 75th birthdays with a delicious birthday cake.  A class picture was taken by guests as we stood on the ballroom staircase.

On Saturday, we enjoyed perfect weather for a picnic and hot dog/brat roast at the Lakenenland Pavilion.  There was plenty of food and we had a chance to share class memories and catch up with those we hadn't seen in years.

On Friday, July 10^th we will gather for a class mixer at NMU.  We’ll mingle, laugh and enjoy some delicious hor d'oeuvres. We’ll even include a photo booth which was wildly successful at our 50^th reunion. 

On Saturday, 1965 grads from Marquette Senior High School will join grads from Bishop Baraga Catholic High School for our Saturday night banquet, entertainment, music and dance at NMU.  We’re planning a humorous tour of the Marquette of our youth as presented by a well-known local personality, listen and dance to our favorite music from the 60s and 70s and feast on some delicious food.

If you attended our 50^th reunion, you know how much fun that turned out to be. We expect the 55^th to be just as much fun.  Mark your calendars and plan to attend.  

Registration materials will be available in February.  The fee will cover both days.

MSHS 1965 has its 3rd Annual Picnic

July 21, 2018

More than 45 classmates and guests braved inclement weather to enjoy our 3rd annual picnic - this time at the covered shelter at the Island.  The rain stayed away and the tarps we hung protected us from the cold north wind.  But the weather couldn't dampen our spirits or make this picnic any less fun.  We had a great time with classmates coming from as far away as California and Virginia.  We're all looking forward to next year's picnic and our big 55th reunion in 2020.  Check out the latest pictures on the Class Picnic Photos link.  

All 1965 graduates in one place!

You heard right - MSHS Class of 1965 and Bishop Baraga High School 1965 alums enjoyed a summer picnic on July 8, 2017 at Marquette Commons.  Since most of us are celebrating our 70th birthdays in 2017, this was also our birthday party. We had registrations from 47 MSHS and 18 BBHS grads and guests. We ate pizza and Greek salad from Vango's and relaxed under the canopy outdoors in near-perfect weather.

2016 picnic a success in spite of the rain

We had a picnic on September 10, 2016 at The Island.  Although the weather didn't cooperate, we had a great time.  Twenty-five classmates attended with another 12 spouses and guests.  Plenty of food, good conversation and a chance to get reacquainted with some classmates we hadn't seen in a long time.  Check out the pictures on the Picnic link.

MSHS 50th Reunion held in 2015

Marquette Senior High School Class of 1965 - the first to graduate from the new high school - held its 50th reunion on July 24-25, 2015.  The reviews are in - what a fabulous event it turned out to be!! Classmates raved about our Friday night mixer, the school tours of Graveraet and Marquette Senior High School and the Saturday night party. The music, the food, the dancing and especially the camaraderie were awesome. Everyone agreed this was the best reunion ever.  

About 100 classmates attended along with spouses and guests with total registrations of close to 170. Whether attending for the first time or attending their 6th reunion - classmates enjoyed talking and laughing with one another. We were like old friends. Can't get any better than that.
