Alumni, Arches

In each issue of Arches, Logger Lookback offers a peek into Puget Sound’s pictorial past. 

Summer Reunion Weekend 2026 is just around the corner! While official reunion activities have varied over the years, Loggers have been getting together for as long as students have been joining the ranks of alumni. 

In these archive photos from 1949 and 1971, campus community members of all types celebrated summertime with an enduring classic: the picnic.

At a festive all-day gathering at Titlow Beach, Mary Louise Moon Long ’50 (far left) and Beverly Sinkovich Marcelia ’51 (far right) grabbed a bite with two unknown Loggers. (Do you know their identities? Please email arches@pugetsound.edu so we can update this story.)

Twenty-two years later, Dean of Admission Ed Bowman ’57, P’86, P’93 (left) took time to appreciate a rare afternoon of Pacific Northwest sunshine. 

Surrounded by classmates, friends, and family, these Loggers met up to play games, share lunch, and trade ideas in the true spirit of Puget Sound camaraderie. You can, too, at Summer Reunion Weekend 2026. Great things happen when Loggers link up!
