The 97th THS Alumni Banquet was presided over by this year's Alumni Association President, Judy Graham Lawlis, class of 1960.  The Banquet attendance was a record 261 Association members and guests. 
The food was great (catered by Cochran's Catering, Jamestown), and the fellowship was fantastic.  The business portion of the evening was handled efficiently - Marvin accounted for every penny and next year's officers were elected (click on 98th Alumni Banquet in the left column of this web site to see a list of the elected officers.  Secretary Bev Ramsey successfully reinstituted the Roll Call of members in attendence.

The gifts given these folks were old, old textbooks which Marvin Wilson purchased at Bob Gillan's recent auction.  They were mostly McGuffey's Readers.  The book presented to Aletha Curry had been hers in about 1918.  Her name was in it!
