The Mass Academy Reunion
The Academy holds an annual reunion for its alumni during the winter break or Thanksgiving period. The academy reunion is unique in that all of the graduated classes attend. The academy is able to accommodate everyone since there have been only been nineteen graduating classes each of approximately 40-50 students, and most attendees are recent alumnae. The reunion was not held for several years following the death of Pauline LaMarche (2004), the academy's second principal and original organizer of the event. The tradition has resumed, however, with the reunion held on December 30, 2006.

Famous quotes containing the words mass and/or academy:
“All great art, and today all great artlessness, must appear extreme to the mass of men, as we know them today. It springs from the anguish of great souls. From the souls of men not formed, but deformed in factories whose inspiration is pelf.”
—Alexander Trocchi (1925–1983)
“...I have come to make distinctions between what I call the academy and literature, the moral equivalents of church and God. The academy may lie, but literature tries to tell the truth.”
—Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)
