Planning is underway for the Spencer High School all-class reunion set for Memorial Day weekend.
SHS Alumni Association president Steve Cooper is working to get the word out about the reunion, which takes place every five years on the holiday weekend.
This year’s event will start at 4:30 p.m., Friday, May 28, with a welcome reception at Spencer Middle School, the former SHS building, where permanent displays of memorabilia are located in the school playroom.
More activities are being planned for Saturday, including a pancake breakfast and an evening reception, perhaps with live music.
Other Saturday events will include a morning program in the SMS auditorium, with the afternoon set aside to allow individual classes to gather in designated classrooms.
“We’ve got a lot of ideas but we don’t have all of it confirmed yet,” Cooper said.
Spencer Mayor Terry Williams is again serving as chairman of the reunion, while Sue Hamric is heading up an effort to publish a cookbook with recipes from former SHS students and teachers.
Cooper said the association’s Web site, Spencerhighschool.com, has been revamped and will contain information about the reunion as details are finalized.
Cooper said more ideas and participation are always welcome.
Those interested in helping with the reunion may contact Cooper at 304-927-1640 or by email at slcwcc@verizon.net or Williams at 304-927-1640 or by email at tawilliams2@suddenlinkmail.com.
Those wishing to submit recipes for the cookbook may send them to City of Spencer, attention Jacob Fetty, 116 Court St., Spencer, Spencer WV 25276 or email them to jacobfetty@aol.com.
Recipes should include name (and maiden name if applicable), class year and current address of the person submitting the recipe.
