Historical 1923 All High School Photo Found
Two years after the “new” high school was built, at the
direction of Principal Roush, the entire high school body was assembled
behind the grade school for a professional photo to be taken. Judy Cupp Schultz, our Historian, sent this
panoramic photo in 3 parts to the website for posting. As you will see, the quality of the photo
is fantastic and provision has been made in the presentation for you to
enlarge for viewing, or download for saving or printing. Enjoy this vintage archive!
Website Update Completed
All of the appropriate updates have now been completed
after the occasion of our 2010 Alumni Association Banquet. Be sure to visit
Meeting Minutes, Photo Gallery, Officers, and especially School History pages
to find out what happened or see your pictures. Thank you for your continued support of
this site. -Webmaster
Alumni Banquet Gets the Hotseat!
It was another great turnout for the Annual Morocco High School Reunion Banquet for all MHS Alumni. An unofficial count was given to me of about 230 people attending this year. The “hotseat” comes in with the unfortunate failure of the new air conditioning system for the gymnasium on the very day of the banquet. We may be destined to always roast at these events! Regardless, very many previous classmates, mates, and old friends mingled, visited, and swapped “old school” war stories to provide a remarkable time of rejoining and celebration. Everyone also enjoyed a delicious meal, promptly served. Thanks to all who attended to make this such a fantastic success once again. For more information, check back for the posting of the minutes of this year’s meeting.
