Can you believe it is so close to All School Reunion. Check the website and the list and I know there are people going to attend that are not on the list., Yours Truly for one.
The committee was in Lyonslast week working on theReunion. They deserve a great deal of credit for putting this together, and again thanks to Jill for getting all the updates to us.
Bob Moody contacted me this morning and said the Moody boys would be there. My brother Hal who graduated in 1954 told me he was going to make it if not in the middle of a real estate deal in Naples, FL.
Did anyone happen to save the article or any of the articles I did on the Classes of 1960 & 1961 out of the Spot Light. The article I’m most looking for is the article about all the jobs that LHS students were doing in Lyons in the years 1960 & 1961. If you have it please forward it to me ASAP. I had borrowed some of the Spot Lights and I returned them and we cannot find the years 1960 & 1961.
This is what we need from you alumni. I have a picture that George Fundenberger provided to the Lyons Daily News which was the Court House when it still had the star on top during Christmas. It was a picture of a major ice storm probably happened in the 1940’s sometime. You can see streamers that run from the top of the Court House to the corners of the Square.
These are the kind of pictures we need to get on the LyonsAlumni.com website. If you have pictures of Slumber Parties, Band Days, Track Meets, Parties, Cars, etc. etc. etc.

I need to fax them to someone for the upcoming reunion. Let me know who needs the and a fax number.
Any one wanting to subscribe for the year please check the website and anyone wanting to make a donation please go to the website. The webmaster is fabulous but we have to pay him. Some new things coming to the website and it will be great. If everyone would pay $25 we would be okay but everyone doesn’t so what ever you can do please do so. Thanks.
We need pictures of when you went to school.
Have a great week.
Sax Drake Class of 1961
