About 1894 some loyal-spirited members of the Alumni organized the Alumni Association for the purpose of promoting good fellowship among the graduates in a scholastic, athletic and social way. The first meeting was held in the lllethodist Church par- lor where a banquet was served and officers elected. After about three annual meetings interest was lost in the association, due to the fact that a high school graduate is young in life's work, and loses interest in the affairs and daily occur- rences of this preparatory school after a few years as an alumni member. However, an enthusiastic attempt was made to revive interest in the associa- tion three years ago when members of the more recent alumni met at the home of Donald Dike during the Christmas vacation. Henry Morgan, TOQ, was elected president and preparations were made for a reunion which took place the following summer in the new High School Building just before its occupancy in the fall of 1911. The great interest taken in this meeting of former classmates was shown by the large number who attended and for the last two years a banquet has been held soon after commencement. The officers of the Alumni Association are Norman Mackay, presidentg illa Drake, vice president, and Laura Reilly, secretary. ' R 'Ig f ,l . K , , V 1. F' ll
