Thank you to the 2018 HOF Selection Committee
Thank you also went to the volunteers service awards:
The active members of the alumni association were presented with 5yr. service awards. They are Ginny Lazzaro '69, Tom Mulyca '69, Howard '54 and Ruth'56 Dickson, Marianne Heller Brownellell '71, Paul Werner '61 and Doris Roberts '61. Deb J Reimann '74 and Dee Wright '83 each have served for 4 yrs.
During the Hall of Fame induction ceremony, the attendees enjoyed a PowerPoint show created by President, Lynne Beiermeister focused on the history of the alumni association as well as its revitalization by the Class of '48 in time for the 100th anniversary of the first graduation ceremony. Lynne describes the effort to get things rolling again in 2011 and highlights the successes in fund raising for the school. Since one of the main missions of the association is to support the current students and teachers, she describes a broad array of activities which contribute throughout the year to that end. Yes, with photos of smiling students, too.
The entire slide show is available for download using the link below. At present, it is a rather large 15MB file so, it may take a a few minutes for it to load into you browser. Be patient and you will be surprised at the wealth of history and knowledge this presentation preserves.
