May 18, 2013 News from Somewhere... About lots of things I need to apologize for my delinquency on this Current Events page over the past few months. I have been so busy with family and other matters that time just flies, doesn't it? We are so fortunate to live in our wonderful America, making it possible to go and do as we want, within reason of course. My first mission here concerns those of you who attended North School, which is now nothing more than a well-seeded field waiting for a beautiful new building. That new building is a result of a successful levy vote passed by the school district residents in 2011. As a kickoff to that levy event, a rally was held at North School prior to its demolition where about 150 people gathered for a short, enthusiastic rally. One of the offerings was a T-shirt which had been rolled out several years before and we bought the last 2 in the world... we thought.Just before demolition of North School started, the City Schools sponsored a tribute to North attended by Veneta (Wilson) Throppe, our art teacher, along with Barbara Brown-Klinker, Julia Brown-Farmer, Alan Hale. Charlotte Carnes-Mulrooney, and me. Alan and I wore our T-shirts and were asked by a couple of folks about the T-shirts. I located the maker of the T-shirts and can now offer them to you. The prices depend on the number of shirts we order; 1-25 or 26-50, If you would like to buy a T-Shirt, contact me with your commitment to purchase and we will see how many accept, therefore dictating the final price. The quality of the shirt is quite good, by the way. If we get less than 25 shirts, each will be $6.75 for sizes Sm. thru 1x, add $ 2.50 ea. for 2x and 3x. More than 25 ordered, the shirts will be $6.25 ea. with the $2.50 addition for 2x and 3x. Anyone out there want to add on the back of the shirts “Graduated 1955”? This would add a cost of $1.75 for 1-25 shirts, or $1.25 for more than 25 shirts. See photo of T-Shirt (here). So, at this point I need to hear if you want a shirt, or shirts, and do you want it also printed on the back. I will give this article and the e-mails I send a month to work (appx. July 1) and then I will add an order blank here on this web page as well as send one to each of you who has reserved a shirt. If you live locally, we can arrange to get it (or them) to you, or you can opt to get it (or them) at the fast approaching 2014 55th LHS59 Reunion.Speaking about a 2014 Reunion, I am assuming that our class president, Joe Clark, has probably started to think about it and will be forming the 55th Reunion Committee soon. Also, please send any information you might have about yourself or others in the Class of ’59 and I will try to be more diligent at making this a truly “Current Events” page. Tille ___________________________________ August 27, 2012 Classmates, I am back... We have begun the preliminary planning to explore whether or not we should have a Homecoming in October, 2012.
