147th Alumni Weekend
The 147th Alumni weekend had to get a little creative due to Covid. The traditional dinner at the high school had to be canceled once again. There were many obstacles put in the way from the Department of Health that made it impossible. Individual classes were encouraged to go on with their gatherings and it turned out to be a very successful weekend for all classes, including classes 1970, 1980 and 2005 for having their parties this year after missing out last year due to Covid.
Saturday evening the Alumni Board split up and retrieved the sign up sheets that were passed out the day before. While going FACEBOOK LIVE, The Class of 1971 was presented both trophies at their get together at the VFW. With 77 classmates in attendance they received the Class of 1935 trophy.
They also received the A.D. Colegrove - highest percent at 34%. After receiving their trophies, the class stood and sang the Alma Mater.

With that being said, The Alumni Association invited those 2 classes back for the 147th Banquet and a separate roll call will be done for those classes. Additionally 2 separate trophies will be purchased for this. This way classes ending in "1" & "6" will NOT have to compete for the trophies.
