Worth County Holds 53rd Annual Alumni Reunion

Worth County Alumni held its 53rd reunion on June 22, 2008 at the Worth County High School gym. Billie Fern Wake took care of the registry for the Worth County Alumni. We had a very good turn out of 83 graduates and 36 guests for a total of 119. The earliest class represented was the class of 1934 by W.T. Osborn and Rita Kay Marrs Wake represented the class of 1937. The family with the most grads present was the Fletchall family with 8 present. The graduate from the greatest distance was Barbara Eighmy Agliozzo, class of 1950, from California. The class with the most present was the class of 1958 with 8 class members present. We always take up a collection during the Worth County Alumni to help with expenses and also help with the Worth County Alumni’s Academic Scholarship which this year went to Alex Mullock for $200 and the Worth County Alumni’s Vocational Scholarship for 2008 went to Kendra Wagner for $200. Our collection this year was $524.49. We also print and sell Alumni books, and this year we sold 7 books for $10 each, adding another $70.00.
Nine members of the Worth County R-III Swing Choir Ensemble that entertained the Alumni were: Nichole Patrick, Lauren Null, Eric Groven, Jordan Hughes, Joey Burbach, Jessica Borey, Ashley Reynolds, Gunnar Patrick, Logan Dignan, Connor Dignan, and Lee Roy Goolsby. They sang "For Good", "Seasons of Love", and "Dust in the Wind".
Judy (Gates) Hansen was the guest speaker for the Worth County Alumni meeting. Judy titled her speech "Rewind---Fast Forward". Judy shared her experiences of going to school at Grant City and the teachers she had while attending the Grant City School.
Carolyn (Lynch)Hardy and Billy Fred Mozingo were elected to continue to serve on the board of directors for 2009-2011.
