     The Hume High School Alumni held their annual meeting on Saturday, May 25 at 7:00 p.m. in the school gym.  Bill Hawks was the Master of Ceremonies.  We had a large crowd with the 2013 seniors being inducted into the Alumni Association.  Margaret Sears welcomed the seniors of 2013 to the Alumni with her daughter, Tori Sears giving the response.  The Sears families have gone to Hume School for 68 years with Miss Sears being the last one with the Sears name to attend Hume School.

      Kristy Brooks and Carrie Sutcliffe gave the senior oath and initiation.  We had some piggy back rides, singing and a wonderful rendition of the twist by Meredith Yarick and the seniors.  It was a lot of fun for everyone.

     Our President Jeff Davidson and VP Carrie Sutcliffe got a group of young people together and set up the tables, chairs, etc.  We, the older ones on the alumni board appreciated all the work they done.  That’s why we need a few more younger people on the alumni board.
      
The invocation was given by Rhonda Headley.  The delicious meal was prepared by Kathy Hester of Sisters and Friends Café.  As you know prices keep going up on everything.  That’s why next year we will be asking more for the meals/dues.  The flowers on the tables were done by the Hume Garden Club.
