PxlF'lLnE l ALUMNI MESSAGE It is with a great deal of pleasure and satisfaction that the Alumni Association contributes this page for publication in this issue of the Maple Leaf. Every member of our Association takes a personal interest and pride in the advancement of our school and looks upon each new venture with a great deal of enthusiasm and interest. In view of the fact that the Class of 1936 will be the new members of our Association, we wish to congratulate them on their foresight and progressive spirit in publishing this, the first year book of Sugar Grove joint Vocational School. Perhaps it might be of interest to mention some of the points relative to the formation and progress of our Association. The Sugar Grove Township High School Alumni Association was ormed in 1909 at Chandlers Valley, with the following officers chosen: Bruce Wrathall, President: Earl Lawson, Vice-Presidentg Adah Peterson, Secretaryg and Ross Porter, Treasurer. The Sugar Grove High School Alumni Association was formed in l9l9 with the following officers chosen: Allan Frank, Presidentg Esther johnson, Secretary, H. j. Hartley, Treasurer, and Alfreda Abbott, Historian. These two groups operated separately until 1932, the second year following the establish- ment of the joint Vocational School. At that time the combined Association was formed. Ol the lgresent membership the Sugar Grove Township Alumni Association has furnished 103 mem ers, the Sugar Grove Alumni Association 173 members. Since 1932 there have been added 75 members, making a total membership of 351. Our members are located not only in all sections of the United States, but also in foreign countries. They are engaged in a wide variety of occupations-teaching, religious work, nurs- ing, farming, trades, and various forms of commercial enterprises. The purpose of our Association is primarily social. We have an annual meeting, usually on commencement night, at which time it is customary to give a banquet in honor of the grad- uating class to welcome them as members of the Association. A short business session follows the banquet for the election of ollicers and transaction of other necessary business. The fact that we meet only once a year leads us to believe that we should have a greater attendance at our annual banquet. Our suggestion is that each of the more active alumni assist either by giving those members unaccustomed to attend a personal notification of this function, or by helping the secretary verify the addresses of such members. Our ofhcers for the present year are as follows: President, Bruce Wrathallp Vice-Presi- dent, Allan Frank, and Secretary and Treasurer, Mildred Hunt.
