President's Letter

The Alumni Association presented the school with a $2500 check at half-time of the 2011

homecoming football game. This money was left from fund raising efforts for stadium

improvements. It was used to make payment on the new scoreboard.

In the fall 2011, we had a work day at the park and with the help of alumni members and boys from the Gentry Residential Center,

we were able to reseed some of the park, redo a retaining wall by one sidewalk, and landscape bricks by the other. The Alumni

Association contributed $430.00 to the Alumni Park for construction of a new set of steps for access to the park from a new

parking area on the east side of the gym. We still would like more tables and benches for the park, but funds are needed to do this.

If you have not seen the park, please stop while you are in town and check it out. It has been used for class reunions, All School

reunions, and by teachers and students. Order blanks for bricks

may be obtained on the website by selecting the Alumni Park

button then download the brick order form. Also you can get

them from Missy Dotson at the Cabool State Bank or call at 417

962-3686 to get them by mail. Order blanks and donations may

be mailed to June Taff, 14083 Orchard Road, Cabool, MO

65689.

Cabool Alumni Memorial Park

Work on the park continues. The shelter, mentioned in the 2008 newsletter, has been

finished and was used at the 2009 All School Reunion. It is a very nice addition to the park.

More bricks have been laid since that time, but we continue to solicit additional orders for

bricks. We hope from those attending the All School Reunion in May and all the individual

class reunions and reading articles in the Cabool Enterprise and online it will jog your memory

and you will take time to order yours. These orders would be laid in the fall, 2012 if we have

enough orders.

The Alumni Association has continued the same activities as in the past. We serve refreshments

at the Awards Assembly where the alumni scholarships are presented. We provide concessions

at the alumni football games and, this past year, participated in the July 4 celebration by serving

cotton candy and sno cones, which were a big hit for the younger crowd. Fund raising is

primarily through the annual dues and an occasional donation.

Looking forward to seeing you in May.

Plans are being made for the All School Reunion on Memorial Day weekend, May 25 and 26,

2012. Classes are invited to gather at the gazebo on Main Street on Friday evening at 5:00 PM.

Hopefully, there will be some entertainment, but definitely a time to visit with old friends. Food

will be available. Saturday's events include registration at the high school at 8:00 AM, with juice

and doughnuts provided. Prior to the parade lineup there will be a general meeting at the

football stadium including a confirmation of nominees for officers of the Alumni Association.

The classes of 1960, 1961, and 1962 will be recognized for fifty year reunions. The parade will

lineup at 10 o'clock by the gymnasium and will end at the same place. Lunch will be available at

the Alumni Park immediately following the parade.

If anyone would like to help plan and be involved in the All School Reunion, to be held during Memorial Day Weekend 2012,

please contact one of us. No picture was available.

Classmates of the Class of 1981 met for their 30 year reunion on July 2, 2011 at Roberts Park. To get out of the heat for the

evening we met at the First Baptist Church fellowship hall for dinner and more visiting. The meal was catered by Mike Whittenberg

and enjoyed by all.

We had 29 classmates who attended overall, which was good considering the late start for planning and not getting letters out to

everyone in time. We opologize for not reaching all classmates. It was good to visit and catch up with those able to attend. We had

a good time watching a DVD slide show of pictures from yearbooks over our years at Cabool. It was interesting trying to match

faces from Kindergarten and on up. If you did not receive your letter, please send an update to us with an address. You may

contact:

The idea was to harness the talent, experience, resources, and connections of people willing to help, for use by Cabool school and

town leadership. Would you consider becoming a DD? You don’t need to do anything more than what you’ve already been doing

in your life. Are you a lawyer, an accountant, a financier, a marketer, or a business executive?  Are you a grant writer, an educator,

a web developer, an architect? Are you a leader? Or are you just fired up to add a little “world-class athlete” ability and elbow

grease to the team?

Please contact Kirby or Aaron (krholmes188@gmail.com, 618/ 910-1851 or aaron.ayer@gmail.com, 704/ 582-9557) if you want to

sign up. For further information go to www.cabool.org , an under-development site dedicated to promoting the town specifically,
