This is very much left up to personal preference as there is no 'standard' way of closing a class alumni reunion. It should be closed in the same way as any other event; by thanking those who have attended and wishing them a safe trip home.
Example:
"I would just like to take this opportunity to thank a few people before this fabulous night has to come to an end. It is clear to say this night could not have happened without the hard work and dedication shown by______ and ______. I think I can say on behalf of everyone here tonight that you have really outdone yourself and we have been totally blown away by what you have achieved.
Next, I would like to draw attention to the wonderful decorations/food/music (thank whoever was involved).
Last but not least, I would like to thank all of you for coming here tonight. Without you we would not have been able to have a reunion so thanks to all of you for showing up!
Hopefully this will not be the end of our reunions and this will just be the beginning of many more events to come. We have created a (Facebook page/ website/etc) for all of you to keep in touch and perhaps we could organise another night like this in the not too distant future.
All that is left for me to say, is thank you once again to all those who helped make tonight a success, and thank you all for attending. Have a safe trip home and I hope we can all do this again soon."
