1938 TO 1982 GRADUATES TO BE AT JULY 17 J&J&LIONS GET-TOGETHER

 Plenty of class at July 17 Town Hall get-together

 

There will be a wide range of Monongah High alumni at the July 17 J&J&Lions Get-Together in the Monongah Town Hall.

It’s not just for MHS Lions, however. Anyone can attend if they have a Reservation IN ADVANCE.

But the Reservations include those from:

Class of 1938 (Amelia Shenasky Zentz)

Class of 1942

Class of 1950

Class of 1955

Class of 1958

Class of 1961

Class of 1968

Class of 1969

Class of 1972

Class of 1975

Class of 1982 (North Marion; Monongah High’s last graduation class was in 1979 before merging into North Marion with other Marion County schools).

Wow, that’s a lot of class!

44 years from the earliest graduate that will show up for the 6 p.m. dinner and music for listening and dancing till 9 p.m. to the “baby” of the group in Shelly Yankie, 1982 North Marion graduate, Monongah Christmas Street Lights Committee and, along with Monongah Councilwoman Susan Sanders, decorating the Town Hall in black and red streamers (Monongah High’s colors).

YOU are running low on time to be in on the fun.

 Too late to mail in a Reservation to me but still time for you to call co-host Jackie Olesky Straight, Class of 1955, who lives in Rivesville, at (304) 278-7157. 

Jackie will give you directions to her house and has Reservation forms for you to fill. At this late date you can pay Jackie ONLY IN CASH (too late for checks) at $20 per person. If you are a Monongah High graduate, put your graduation year on the form.

Again, NOT restricted to Monongah High alumni!

 Residents of Monongah or friends and family to those who are coming, too, are welcome as long as they have had their Covid vaccine shots.

I will need to give Say-Boy Restaurant the number of people attending and how many want the various entrees. I will be paying for all the food in advance from the checks I’ve received so that Say-Boy doesn't have to collect person to person.

There will be non-stop music for 3 hours, a huge Monongah High Lion framed poster, an ever larger WVU cloth wall-hanging, a 25-pound cement outline of the state of West Virginia in blue and gold with “W” and “V” on the work of art and FOURTEEN HUNDRED ROTATING PHOTOS in a picture frame of family, friends, Monongah High alumni and residents of Monongah from 2021 to 1938. 

A fantastic non-stop stroll down memory lane in so many ways.

So call Jackie to get your reservation in and not be kicking yourself later when you read about and see photos of how much fun we’ll be having.

 Monongah Mayor Johnboy Palmer will be there, too, to draw the winning raffle ticket for the donated football that Nick Saban and wife Terry Constable Saban autographed.

Brother sent a boxful of items that will be given away to those with winning raffle tickets till everything on the table is gone.

This is NOT the annual Monongah High Alumni banquet but a John Olesky attempt to get family, friends and classmates together during the summer as a break from the COVID restrictions.iHH

The annual Monongah High Alumni Banquet will be on Labor Day weekend at the Knights of Columbus in Fairmont. If you have any questions call Donna Davis at 304-534-5636.
