The meeting began with LaVonne Hart, Alumni Coordinator, welcoming the group after which the Pledge of Allegiance was recited. Hart reported that the Alumni Scholarship Fund is being funded by donations and is solvent at the present time.
Recipients of the 2021 scholarships of $500 were given to Kylee Workman, daughter of Todd and Becky Workman, and to Ryan Tempel, son of Adam and Staci (Starkebaum)Tempel. Tempel stopped in for a few minutes to be recognized as a recipient. He thanked the Alumni for the scholarship given to him.

Bruce proceeded to call for members of this year's honor classes. The classes of 1960 and 1961 were introduced together. They had a combined reunion on Friday and Saturday evenings.
As Bruce invited other classes to be recognized he asked them some trivia questions about top tunes of their respective eras. He presented people with a Bulldog t-shirt or cap when they were able to answer the trivia questions.
Bruce invited the group to sing the school song together. Hart thanked him for his help with the meeting. A moment of silence was given to remember graduates who have passed away.
