This site was set up for the 50th Reunion of the Cretin Class of 1957. It has been and will continue to be used to allow the '57 classmates to renew friendships and make new ones in addition to providing information about all aspects of our class. The site is now morphing into the Cretin Class of 1957 with ongoing information about our classmates and this page is now the Reunion page. We have updated Banquets, Yearbook, Golf and Donation pages to show accounting information and winners. This completes our updates for the reunion.

The entire reunion was great (see pictures) but Friday was extra special. See Sully's blog that expresses how most of us feel but find it hard to put into words. This was a special night.

Those who attended the luncheon at CDH on Wednesday, October 10, will recall that we presented a DVD recording of a new school anthem, "The Halls of Cretin-Derham." After a survey of those who heard the new song indicated overwhelming approval, we have proposed that CDH consider adopting the Anthem to complement The Rouser, joining many other schools that have both the rouser and anthem song forms. In early December, a request that the anthem be tested on a wider audience of CDH alumni was denied by the administration. The main reason for the denial seemed to be that, to be considered for adoption by the school, such a song would need to originate from the student body.
