MHS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
BOARD of DIRECTORS
MET FEB. 4, 2012

The MHS Alumni Board of Directors met February 4, 2012, at the Welcome Center in Mangum. President, Jymmy Joe Martin brought the meeting to order at 10:00 a.m.

Secretary, Alice Gray, presented the January Minutes and Mary Jane Scott presented the Treasurer’s report. Both reports were accepted as given.

Plans for the banquet, to be held May 25, 2012, at the Quartz Mountain Lodge, are in the final stages of planning, according to President Martin. He announced a special one time Scholarship will be given to a 2012 graduating senior in the memory of Ms. Yonne Pendleton McDaniel. Ms. McDaniel was a 1939 MHS Grad, Past President of the Alumni Association and a long time member of the Board of Directors for various alumni years. She was also a strong supporter and advocate for the Mangum Public Schools during her lifetime.

A change for the meal this year will be a buffet style dinner with the Seniors-to-be-2013, serving and offering shuttle service to and from the cars and the lodge. This will be a fund raiser for their class according to the Class Parents represented by Jeanna White, MHS 1993 graduate.

Bonnie Clark announced the Coup de Ville band will provide entertainment for the after-dinner Mixer. Prices for the Banquet/Dues will be $35.00. Members’ dues only will be $15.00.

Committee Chairs reported on progress with their groups. Ms. Scott reported the invitations will go out in about two weeks. Any address changes should be reported quickly.

The next meeting will be held March 3, 2012, in the Welcome Center meeting hall. Committee chairs, along with members, are always encouraged to attend.

In attendance were: Jymmy J. Martin, Judy Tidmore, Alice Gray, Beth White, Joy Grant, Mary Jane Scott, Hellen Stickle, Jeanna White, and guest, Dick Stickle.

2012 Series

Throughout the year, a Historian is always looking for and asking others about the ‘missing’ alumni. At a recent Alumni Board meeting, Treasurer, Mary McDaniel Scott ’72, handed out a roster which included 843 “returned invitations”. This signifies that 843 addresses were incorrect out of the 2500 mailed. We get comments from members that his or her relative or friend didn’t get an invitation or some that haven’t received one in years.

There are at least three answers for this dilemma:

1) That person has no locally known parent/or relative to whom the class secretaries can contact for a new address and/or

2) That member has never sent a ‘change of address’ to the P.O.B. 8 in Mangum whereby a new address could be entered, and/or

3) An invitation is returned this year with the yellow strip showing a NEW address; but the next mailout will not happen until 2012 UNLESS a person requests another invitation to mail to his or her friend/relative.

Obviously, after many years of no contact or show of interest on the member’s part, names could have been dropped from the register accidentally by many people who have kept records of this 101 year old Association. For the last twenty plus years, all the Graduates have been recorded diligently on a computer which is monitored and updated year around by Ms. Scott, Ms. Grant and other Board Members who send in changes of addresses whenever they learn of changes. Newspaper obituaries are scrutinized daily and weekly for Alumni members’ demise. Closure is much better than ‘whereabouts unknown’ to the Alumni Family.

James Long, ’57 Grad, sends daily (Greer County connected) obituaries from the Daily Oklahoman knowing that Mangum does not get that paper anymore. This information is scanned, copied, mailed or faxed and placed in large 3-hold record books kept by the Historian. Eventually, these records will be stored at the Welcome Center Alumni Room and/or the Old Greer County Mangum School Room.

Therefore, if you know a MHS Graduate who is not getting an invitation, call 580-782-5107, and that can be changed.

We really appreciate the Class Secretaries who dig deep each year and keep all their classmates addresses current. If you think that would be an easy job, I challenge you to take on this responsibility and help us.

Right now, we are needing help from all classes that end in 1’s and 6’s for inclusion in the Alumni Editions of the papers. We need new research and new stories from the members themselves. Deadlines start April 1 and May 2 is an absolute deadline for articles to be included in the Alumni Edition. Please help by bringing copies of pictures to the news offices or call Joy Grant at the above phone number and your information will be picked up.

The Alumni Association and Board wish to thank the Enterpriser Paper owner Sharon (Griffis) Dean, Class of 1967, in her efforts with different groups in the schools. Sharon and her partner Shirley(Grubbs)Buchanan design and print many t-shirts with Tiger logos; they help format and print all the alumni invitations, tickets, programs, etc. each year and are supportive in many civic activities in Mangum.
