In an effort to bring together Laguna’s alums and current students, Laguna held its first annual Alumni Day.

Alums, ranging from the class of 1953 to the class of 2002, taught classes.

Those who returned to campus had the opportunity to attend classes and to teach a class while being able share their life experiences since graduating from Laguna.

Campus tours were also being offered all weekend long.

“Once an Owl, always an Owl,” said Blake Dorfman, class of 2002, as he looked back upon his time here.

“One of the great things about Laguna is that you do stay in touch with people after graduation.

So organizing this was pretty easy. I created a Facebook group, and we have around fourteen people coming back.”

Keeping the Laguna tradition alive, Math Department Chair Mr. Paul Chiment invited Mr. Yates Satterlee, class of 1953, back into the math classroom to teach a lesson.

Mr. Chiment’s students were given a history lesson while also being quizzed on math terms during their normally scheduled Advanced Math class.

Mr. Satterlee explained that when he taught at Laguna, he “wasn’t the head of the math department, he was the math department.”

Both Mr. Dorfman and Mr. Satterlee agreed that Laguna hasn’t changed much, in regards to what makes Laguna, “Laguna.”

The most significant change is the technological advancements. “We used to use sliders because we didn’t all have calculators! And now you all are using iPads! I can’t tell you what a difference that is!” said Mr. Satterlee.

Along with being able to revisit classrooms, alumni were also featured participants for the first time in Laguna’s annual jogathon.

Mr. David Silverander, class of 2001 and Laguna’s new cross-country coach, lead and organized the alumni team for jogathon.
