To our classmates from the class of '65,
Traditionally, each class presents the school with a Class
gift on the occasion of their 50-year reunion. We have met with the
principal of Ogden High and the Ogden School Foundation to decide what would be a useful gift for
OHS. Other classes have donated the tiger statue, murals, scoreboards, pictures
etc.
The school originally suggested various "wish list" items,
most of which were not something that would last, but operational items such as chairs, etc., but
we asked for something which would be at the
school for years to come. One suggestion is for cabinetry
at the back of the auditorium, to be used for containing the sound and light equipment needed - this
equipment is currently being housed on a plastic table behind the last row of seats. The cabinets will match
and complement the existing red oak art deco décor of the auditorium. There will be a
plaque on the cabinets stating it was donated by the OHS Class of 1965.
This is a substantial project due to the custom cabinetry,
and we need your help to pay for it.
We would appreciate it very much if classmates would consider a donation to
be included with your registration form. We believe we can donate
about $2,000 from existing class reunion funds, but that will cover less than half the cost of the
project.
We have been very diligent over the years with our class
reunion bank account to maintain a reserve cash flow. We have costs that occur
before each and every class reunion and have been fortunate to have money retained from earlier reunions
to help offset those costs, as well as yearly maintenance fees for our class website. Any donation will be
greatly appreciated and any donations in excess of the cost for the gift will be used future class needs
and reunions.
Please include your donation
with your registration or send a check or money order made out to OHS class of '65

donation payable to the the Ogden School District Foundation.
