Stevenson High School Alumni Association

Stevenson, Washington

Message from the President

We are celebrating the 100 TH ANNIVERSARY of Stevenson High School this year. What a great opportunity to see how well our ‘new’ buildings have held up for the last 55 years!

I remember typing on a manual typewriter in Mr. Grossie’s class in 1955 and now you probably can’t find a manual typewriter anywhere, unless it is in an antique shop. (And remember Mr. Vaux’s math classes; we didn’t have calculators either!)

Our lives have been filled with wonderful inventions and change seems to have become exponential, but one thing has not changed: Sitting down and visiting with old friends still feels good.

There are now so many different ways of communicating, but I have found that a smile, a hug and/or a good handshake still keeps me going better than any other method that has been devised, and I look forward to greeting old friends each time I attend a Reunion at Stevenson High School. A visit to “Good Old SHS” will provide good memories of friends that you grew up with and may not have seen for 10 or even 50 years!

Surprisingly enough, if you knew my dad, Frank Voorhees, you would find that I now look just like him. Amazing isn’t it?

We are issuing a plea for anyone having class address lists to e-mail or send them to Rena or Webmaster – our address records are really sketchy, especially for the past 10-15 years.  We note the year the address is updated on our master list so it helps to make sure we have the most current information.

In a trophy case in the lobby of the high school gym sits a deflated, dusty old leather football.  There is some writing on that old ball and on closer examination the writing seems to be...........

A New Invitation

The Alumni Board has made changes to the way we prepare and mail our invitations. We are using NetPost through the U.S. Postal Service. By using NetPost the Alumni Association was able to save $160.00 in mailing costs. NetPost also cross-references our Alumni addresses against the U.S. Postal Service’s national database. This will save additional costs of approximately 100 “bad” addresses or $39.00. We no longer have the pretty blue paper but we had to cut the frills to cut costs! PLEASE advise all Alumni that we must have good, current addresses for our new system of mailing. Thanks for your patience with our new system. Rena Crews Hollis, Secretary, Class of 1972Alumni Address Updating If you know of anyone who did not receive a reservation form, please call Rena Crews Hollis by E-mail or the Alumni Association, P.O.
