If you have some neat, interesting memorabilia that you're willing to donate for
auction or raffle to raise funds for the 2010 Homecoming activities, please let us
know.  Maybe someone has some rare photos that can be framed or put into an
album, sports  equipment/awards, etc.  Use your imagination and search those
closets & store rooms!  Bill Hanstrom will be donating a cornerstone brick from
the old high school.  He purchased it at auction at Homecoming in 1985 and is
expecting Bentley Baylor and Don  Hale to bid high on the item.
