are compiling a class directory. The information will be provided either in hard copy or on a computer disk. If
you have a format preference, or if you would like to have both formats, please contact one of the committee members with
your preference. If we don’t hear from you, you will receive a hard copy.
| | At
the conclusion of the last reunion we depleted all of our available funds. Planning for the upcoming reunion will require
outlays of monies for venue deposits and miscellaneous expenses. A number of our classmates have made contributions to
the reunion which has been a big help. However, we would solicit additional contributions to make sure funds are available
as the planning process proceeds. Anything you can send will be appreciated. Please mail checks and information to LHS/MHS 1959 50th Reunion, P.O.
Box 6595, Lubbock,

| A number of our classmates have indicated a desire to provide a legacy to the schools from this class. This
legacy would probably take the form of a contribution to the scholarship foundation at each school. One way to do that, and
allow everyone to participate, is to have a raffle. Hopefully, some of the artists in our classes will donate items
for this fundraising effort. A committee has been formed to explore and implement the process. As the process continues, information
will be posted on both websites. This will allow those who may not be able to attend the reunion a chance to participate in
the fundraiser. |
