Latest update on OHS Reunion

Dear Aggies:

Big news, our website www.ondossagonaggies.com is now up and running. We are very proud of this new and hip site that remembers Ondossagon and promotes the All School Reunion.

A great big thank you to Mike Janes, who set the site up, and to Pam Noble Hawk, who has designed and is managing it. The web site gives everyone a whole new dimension to our school and to the reunion that hopefully will live on, long after the reunion is over.

If you go into the Reunion button on the site – all the updates will be posted, as soon as possible, with current information. We will eventually be having registration, souvenirs, the all school yearbook, and cookbook online to sign up for / purchase.

We have a contest running on the site to “name the event.” The links are easy to follow and we urge you to send in your suggestions.

Other fun things on the site include: Listen to the school song, write / read stories about old times, and see old photos. If you are on the home page, notice on the left side - the map. This shows where people are logging on from, and at the bottom of the page - click on “watch in real time” and you’ll see who is looking at the site at that time.

From this point on, we will not be sending out any more mass emails, as all the information, updates, and contact links will be on the website.

Do you want to help with a committee? Let us know. Terry is the contact person at torkkoconsulting@yahoo.com

We can assure you that we have very active committees, working hard - developing wonderful plans. The reunion will be an event to remember!

See you on the web at www.ondossagonaggies.com Feel free to forward this email on to everyone you know!

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...
