The LaHarpe School Alumni event was June 25. Fifty-one attended.
The meeting opened with William Watson, treasurer, leading the pledge to the U.S. flag.
Gary Hageman (class of 1962) and Sandy Beaman (class of 1966) gave their redition of “The Star Spangled Banner,” with all the group singing.
Sharon Utley, president, offered a prayer. Jenni Ware catered a lovely meal.
Scholarship thank you notes were read from Sage Barney, Iola High School, and Alyson Ard, Marmaton Valley. Kirstyn Murrow of Humboldt High School was there to share her goals, telling about her classes at Pittsburg State University this fall. The students each received a $500 scholarship from LaHarpe alumni and friends.
