Announcements & News - 4/8/19

 
Hi Everyone,

The countdown has begun for IHS Class of 1964's Reunion #55.  It is hard to believe!!   While most of us don't feel "that old," we are sure everyone has their moments -- especially as we repair, repair, repair!!

We have received 1/3 of our anticipated number's registrations.  We hope that the other 2/3 will try and do so before May 15th.  The Reunion Committee operates on a budget based on previous reunions.  While we know the 50th was our largest attended since the 10th and while we do NOT anticipate that number, we did hear MANY of you saying that it was such fun and  you were so looking forward to the next reunion INCLUDING some of our classmates who had NEVER attended a reunion!! 

So we do hope you are planning to attend and if you have not already done so, start contacting everyone you keep in touch with (and those that you don't) to remind them to attend.  This is a task the Reunion Committee cannot do alone.  See home page of website for registration information.

If we follow the trend of other high school reunions, we hear that after the 55th, the venue starts to change a bit.  With that being said, this one could be the last that we have with the format of the Friday night reception and the Saturday night dinner/dance with a band.  So don't miss this one!!

Also, Wayne Messina tells us that he has contacted the new principal and we will get to do a tour of the renovated Istrouma High School - probably during the day on Saturday.  More details will follow.  And Dottie Herrin has personally contacted surviving faculty members and we have 5 planning to attend thus far.

The monthly luncheon will be this Saturday, April 13th at Sammy's in Central at 11:30 AM.  Hope to see many of you there.  

Stay healthy, safe, and in touch.

Send us your data for our database

We  published a 50th Reunion Booklet that was given out to everyone at the July event and wanted to include as many listings as possible. If you weren't listed or want to change data - addresses, phone numbers, family info, and what you've been doing.  Many of you have been contacted recently via phone or email by the Reunion Committee and we have up to date reports.  However, there area a lot of folks with old data on file, so if you haven't already done so, please send us your data using our convenient new online form or the traditional printed "snail mail" version.  We would hope that most folks will use the online form since it reduces the amount of typing the committee volunteers have to do!

Missing Indians

We've maintained and updated the classmates list from our 45th reunion and will use it and recent information to keep our database current. A list of "Missing Indians" has been posted and will be updated each week as we find people and move them to the "found" list. With just a few months left, we'll need help from volunteers. Please help us find the missing classmates and faculty members.
 

Send photos and news

In case you haven't visited our Gallery Pages, there are many photos there that classmates have scanned and emailed to us for everyone to see.  Send us your photos along with captions.  Scan at 300 dpi or less to keep the size down.  Send to ihs1964@yahoo.com  .

Everyone likes to read news about their friends from school, especially if they are out of touch or far away. So, send us news to include on our website.  Just email to ihs1964@yahoo.com .
