The Sheridan Alumni Association voted at their annual Alumni Reunion Sunday to donate $1,000 to the Sheridan CBC Building Fund. This donation is above and beyond what they pay the CBC to host the annual event and cater the meal. The money will pay down the principal of the loan that the CBC is seeking to pay off. The Sheridan CBC is seeking donations to pay down the loan for the building. Sharon Rawlings made the motion to donate the money.
At the motion of Chandra Hopkins, Mike Scott was reelected Alumni Association President and Janet Gladstone as secretary and treasurer.
Attendance was much higher this year. There were 57 people who attended this year, compared to 34 last year. This includes alumni and their guests. Arvetta Terry and Larry Dowis were the oldest alumni present, from the Class of 1951. “If it hadn’t been for her, I wouldn’t have graduated at all,” said Dowis. Someone from the Class of 1943 wrote a letter.
The closest to home was Rick Morrow, who lives just a block from where the reunion was held. There were people from as far away as Georgia and Arizona. Patrick and Grace Osmon came from Atlanta. They were guests of Larry and Joan Osmon. Joan is a member of the Class of 1971. Donna Dukes of the Class of 1954 came from Arizona.
The most popular name for women present was Linda. The most popular name for men was Steve and Larry.
There were 15 alumni present from the 1950’s, 23 from the 1960’s, and 16 from the 1970’s.
