MHS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
BOARD of DIRECTORS HOLD LAST
MEET MAY 4, 2012

The MHS Alumni Board of Directors met Friday, May 4, 2012, at the Welcome Center in Mangum. President, Jymmy Joe Martin brought the meeting to order at 6:00 P.M.

Secretary, Alice Gray, presented the April minutes and they were accepted as read. Treasurer, Mary Jane Scott, gave the report on tickets purchased, dues paid and BiGhumni paid. Both reports were accepted as given.

Plans for the banquet, to be held May 25, 2012, at the Quartz Mountain Lodge, are all in place, according to President Martin. Scholarship recipients were discussed and voted on. A one-time Scholarship will be given to a 2012 graduating senior in the memory of Ms. Yonne Pendleton McDaniel. Two college students were chosen to receive the Alumni Scholarships offered to third and fourth year college students.

The banquet will include a buffet style dinner and the Seniors-to-be-2013, will offer shuttle service to and from the cars and the lodge. Greer’s Funeral Home will be offering limo service from Mangum and they have also provided a PowerPoint presentation for use at the Banquet.

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. The deadline for tickets is May 18. Mail checks to MHS Alumni Association, POB 8, Mangum, OK 73554.

Others in attendance were: Judy Tidmore, Susan Givens, Betty Fails, Joy Grant, Hellen Stickle, and Dick Stickle, Chair of the BiGhumni (spouses) group.

As your president this year, I have learned one thing about our great alumni association. Our Board of Directors really have this association format down to a fine art. We cannot forget those who came before them as well, because those were the ones that carried our great tradition on the past 102 years.

We are all looking forward to a great alumni weekend starting on Friday with our Golf Tournament and the 8:00 A.M. Breakfast at the American Legion building. The Banquet is Friday evening at Quartz Mountain Lodge for members and a gathering for their spouses. The parade on Saturday morning at 10:00 will culminate another year led by Wade Tyler, Jr. as Parade Marshal.

We have a great graduating class this year and I hope that their dreams and goals all come to attrition. They may leave our great little town for awhile to make their mark in the world, but the one thing they must not forget is that they will 'Forever Be MANGUM TIGERS".

JYMMY JOE MARTIN
PRESIDENT (Class of 1973)

2012 Series

Series 1 (Class of 1932)
Series 2 (Class of 1937)
Series 3 (Class of 1942)
Series 4 (Class of 1947)
Series 5 (Class of 1952)
Series 6 (Class of 1957)

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.
