The Board of Directors of the Alumni Association met at the home of

Charlotte Heath. Members present included Winston Merrick, Fred Slocum,

Mable Field, Mildred Jarman, Larry Moore, and O. Heath.

The Secret ary's Report was read, and approved.

The Treasurer's Report was read and approved. 3alance on hand $151.50.

Noting the response to having former teachers present at the alumni

banquet it was decided to )let the addressed of and encourage the attendance

of as many possible. It is felt that this, properly publicized, encourages

hesitant alums to attend.

We expect through greater effort, to have a larger mailing list of

alumna than in recent previous years. Switching from a card to a letter

form of invitation may prove helpful in encouraging attendence. All out

of town letters will bear the added "Please contact any known Hastings

Alumni in your vicinity.''

One person encourages another and we plan to use as many as possible

in our committees and to publicize this point. All stories should

indicate a formal invitation is not necessary. President and General Chairman Charlotte Heath appointed the following committees;

Publicity, Larry Moore; Tickets, Mable Field; Dinner Arrangement, Mildred

Jarman; Program, Harry Young; Table Planning and Dining Room Arrangement).

Dwight Fisher; Invitations, Winston Merrick; Alumnus of the Year Award,

Flynn Matthews; Decorations and Cleanup, Fred Slocum; School contacts,

C. Heath.

Next meeting will take place Larch 15 at Mable Field's.
