Alumni Association The Alumni Association of Stephens City High School was organized in the fall of 1938 at a called banquet at Tokes' Inn under the direction of Mrs. Elsie Hovermale. Since that time the Association has grown by leaps and bounds and at present numbers approximately 95 members. The organization has engaged in many activities both of a social nature and in connection with creating many improvements in the school and community. During the period of its existence it has expended a minimum of one hun- dred dollars per year for some worthwhile and greatly needed improve- ments in the school facilities, among which have been the remodeling of the washrooms, visual aid apparatus, blackout curtains, playgroundg and athletic equipment and an electric drinking fountain for the high school building. 'I'he Association has sponsored many enjoyable social activities including the annual banquet in the spring and Christmas parties and picnics in season. Upon being graduated from Sftephens City High School a student, if he pays his dues, becomes a member of the Alumni Association. The year 1913 was the first year in which anyone was graduated from a school at Stephens City and that year produced two graduates-Miss Browne Samsell and Mr. Clearence Tevault. Except for the sessions ending in 1914 and 1916, there has been a graduating class every year at Stephens City even though some of them have been quite small.
