Hello Classmates,
I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the first holiday of the summer, Memorial Day. I would like to thank our class members who served in the United States Armed Forces and mourn all who gave the ultimate sacrifice. And as we thank our fellow Americans for their service, I want remind all of you to protect your "peace" and your "mental health. As mature, settled, older, wiser folks (LOL), we are increasingly more vulnerable to stress due to changing conditions. Isolation and loneilness are chief culprits to the deterioration of mental health. Engage others, exercise (if you can), join groups/organizations that align with things you like and support.
Take care of yourself and each other.
Be Well

MHS CLASS OF 1974 Meeting
April 17, 2025
In Attendance: Calvin Brown, Loretta Davis, Debra Campbell, Helen McFarland, Alice Goseer Jenkin, and Sharon Hall
Calvin started with a recap of Alumni Weekend. He talked about how great it was! Calvin asked those who spent money for Alumni Weekend to send in what they spent, and we will see if we can reimburse them.
After addressing the expenses, Calvin moved on to discuss the possibility of a Family Day. Sharon suggested a 70th birthday party. Debra suggested doing something a little sooner. The group brainstormed several ideas for the event, including a picnic at the local park, and a formal dinner at a nice restaurant. It was decided to send out a survey to see what the majority would like to do.
A Legacy Program was discussed. What type of impact does the Class of ’74 want to have on MHS?
Ideas
- a college scholarship fund:
- a banner with a motivational message to the student body
- Both 1&2
Alice and Helen volunteered to serve on the scholarship committee. This committee will determine the criteria for scholarship recipients.
Next meeting will be July 17 at 6:30pm.
