Four attendees from the class of 1945—Ruby Jones, Mary Alice Jarrett, Geneva Mitchell, and Helen Ruth—were among the honorees, celebrated with tributes, stories, and fun. Members of Stephens-Lee classes of 1948, 1951, 1952, 1954, 1957, 1963, 1964, 1966, and 1967 also attended.

The organizing committee was very grateful to the many others who could not attend but sent donations in support of the Stephens-Lee Alumni Scholarship Fund.
