Picnic Reservations

Waterfront Table for 2 Please!!

Actually, we don't have any waterfront tables for 2, ... we only have tables for 8, but, they are forest adjacent ... in a pinch we can fit 9 at a table, as long as they didn't play on the MHS Football Team.

Saturday, August 16th, 11am-5pm

Even if you did not do well in Mr. Robinson's Algebra class, you realize that the picnic is only 2 MONTHS away.  Do the math!

We are very cool people!

I hope you realize how cool your classmates are, ... and they are so much fun to hang out with.  Experience our coolness for yourself at the picnic, ... and, we're not just bragging, ... you can be cool too, ...  on Saturday, August 16th, 11am - 5pm, approximately.  No, we do have tables for just the cool people.  If you come, you are deemed to be cool, ... so, all the tables are the "cool" tables.   If you don't come, ... well, ... I'm sorry, ... but, you're not cool.  Fill out the survey!!!

Be Cool !!

We are pulling together estimated picnic attendance so we can start thinking about quantities of food, ... tables, chairs, napkins, water, ... all the stuff that makes the picnic happen.  Kevin has to order chairs and tables, something he loves to do, but still, he'll need a count.  Linda needs to organize the weeding crews, and the food, .... she's in charge of the food too, ... because she doesn't have enough to do.   Steve needs to order the Porta Potties, plus he likes to inspect them ahead of time, to make sure he gets the blue ones with the white top.  The Games subcommittee needs to make sure Don Miller can be coerced to coming over from Mazama to supervise the Corn Hole game, ... of course, he'll insist he gets to play too.   He'll probably want Tony for his teammate unless they've had a falling out.  They're defending champions.  Betty Dupree, our head of security, needs to surveil the area to ensure her protocols are going to be adequate for everyone's safety.  I think she told me she's using AI to do this.  Don't ask.  Jeanne Fletcher is collecting the money, and she shops for stuff from Costco.  Did we tell you the cost this year is $25?  It's $25 this year.  Lee Crary and Betty are in charge of the music, ... yep, ... all your favorites from the 60's will be wafting through the picnic grounds all day.   Sue Akers, editor of The Chieftain, will be sharing the shocking stories that were not printed, ... and the stunning scandals she uncovered in her reporting of the happenings in the halls of MHS.  Here's a quick preview.  The flu outbreak in February '67 can be traced back to Mr. Nievaards MEDICS Club, ... two brawls broke out during a meeting of FTA, Future Teachers of America, ... and the amount of money Randy Mickels was willing to pay in a vain attempt to have his name and picture listed on the Optimus Page in our annual.  You'll definitely wanting to be sitting at Sues table.  Everyone else on your Committee is involved in setting up the tents, tables, chairs, and of course, the tear down.  Steve McKenzie and his wife Shimi always arrive a couple of days early from Montana to help with the set up even though they're not on the Committee.  So, see all the work that goes into this endeavor, ... and it's all done with love, ... for YOU.   

Please fill out the survey at the top left of the Home Page.  We anticipate a large crowd for this one, ... I've already heard of 3-4 classmates who have never come to our picnic before are planning to come, so you do not want to miss this one.  It's possible, not totally sure yet, but we could have royalty, other than our Homecoming Queen and Committee member, Stephanie Smith, attending.   This person was a hairs breath away from being Queen, ... so, she's important.  Take my word for it, we will be hounding her until she relents and says she's coming.
