Steering Committee meeting date and agenda

Dear Aggies:

Progress is being made. The Steering Committee has set a meeting for Saturday, March 7th at 1:00 PM at Benoit school. We hope, by scheduling this meeting on Saturday, it will give those folks that live out of town, the opportunity to attend.

We need lots of help in many, many areas such as: chairpersons for all events, telephone contact people to call classes, callers to get the names and addresses of teachers, school bus drivers, cooks, staff etc. Those with expertise in fund raising, expertise & coordination for the All School Yearbook, coordinators of OHS recipes for a cook book , food organization people, persons to take care of registration- name tags, etc, organization people for porta potties, transportation, etc, etc, etc.

You just may want to come to see what is happening and ask questions. Great! ..........but don't be surprised if you are brought into the fold to help.

Don't forget to look at www.Facebook.comhttp://www.facebook.com/..........the Ondossagon fan site now has 178 members and going strong. I agree with many of you, Facebook is not easy, but once you "get it" it has quite the reach to be in contact with alumni and friends.

We received another donation, this came from Tomlinson's Auto of $100.00. Thank you! Thank you! Because this event will be large, there are many extras we will need, to just take care of multitudes - such as tents, porta potties, stamps for mailings, etc. Donations are appreciated. Contact Ann Green doublemint [at] centurytel.net

We now have a web site. It's under construction, but will soon be up and running. Thank you Mike Janes!

The site is www.ondossagonaggies.com It should be more user friendly than Facebook. It will have all the current information of what is happening for the reunion, and have links to classes, etc.

Some classes have all their info in already. Those we have heard from are: 1942, '44, '47, '53, '57, '62 thru 72, '78 thru '80. Thank you so much! The sooner we have those names/addresses/emails the better!

The committee is a wonderful group, and we are committed to make this event the best it can be.........We are proud of our school and proud to be working on this exciting event. We'll see you soon!

We are loyal to you Ondossagon!

Jan

Memories of Ondossagon

MEMORIES OF ONDOSSAGON By: Julie Moravchik When I close my eyes I still can see the hallways, the teachers and my friends. The memories of Ondossagon High School are still fresh in my mind. They are such good memories. I wish there was a way to hop in a time machine and take a trip back every once in a while. Just for a day. Or maybe an hour or two. I was able to do that in a way just recently. The reunion committee asked me to make a video for our upcoming all-school reunion, and it gave me a chance to talk with people I haven't seen in a long time. I also had a chance to tour the museum they are setting up at the Benoit Community Center . I looked through old yearbooks and stacks of memorabilia like team uniforms and band uniforms. They even have that giant Aggie Bull that used to hang on the gym wall. It felt good. It brought back feelings I haven't felt in a long time. I miss that young girl sometimes - that girl who was used to knowing everyone by name, w...

MEMORIES OF ONDOSSAGON  By DAN JOHNSON (Ondossagon, 1961 -1964) My first formal teaching assignment was a position at Ondossagon High School for the 1961-62 school year.

That said, despite the many challenges that were asso...

The Ondossagon All-School Reunion: A Work in Progress

Most of us have attended, at one time or another, a high school class reunion. We were concerned about our appearance, what clothes to wear, will any of our friends be there, and if we would recognize our classmates. Our spouses dreaded attending since they would not know anyone, they would feel left out, deserted for the evening while everyone else was having a fun time reminiscing and telling stories. And then there are those all-school reunions with a lot more people attending over a two-day period with great food and refreshments, live music, museums, auctions, a memory wall, cookbooks, history books, videos, proclamations, tents, souvenirs, and a candy store. Sounds like an all-school reunion could be a great time for all. And it will be! The eight-member reunion steering team and the nine subcommittees are hard at work to make the Ondossagon All-School Reunion THE EVENT of this summer in the greater Ashland, Wisconsin area. The Ondossagon School opened in 1917 and closed in 199...
