Alum Gets Great

Eclipse Shots

 

Class of 1956 graduate Charline Bridgeman took some great photos of the 2024 Solar Eclipse.  She lives in Paducah, Kentucky and was directly in the path for a total eclipse of the sun by the moon.  Nice work Charline and thanks for sharing that with all MHS Alumi!

Heartfelt Thanks

 

I would like to convey my heartfelt thank you to the entire Alumni Association Membership for the surprise gift of appreciation presented to me today, sent by the 2021 Officers of the Association as recognition for my efforts in maintaining this website.  I pledge to you all that I will continue doing so as long as I am able.  If any of you, or a younger computer-savvy relative or in-law of yours is interested in taking over after I can’t, please contact me.  In this way, the site will be able to continue on after me.

Did She Teach You in the 1950’s?

 

Many people will remember Mrs. West as the first grade teacher, who taught them to read. She died at age 100, (May 22nd, 2018) and was still as sharp as a tack!  I visited with her on the phone several times in recent years, and she seemed to remember everyone in our class (1953-54) and would ask about people from other classes she had taught.  She wrote 4 books on her family history, played bridge, was a member of the DAR, and attended church regularly.  Remarkable lady.

Historical 1923 All High School Photo now has student names!

 

The original listing of all the students by name was found and these have now been entered below each of the 6 Section enlargements. See name viewing instructions here. If you find any necessary name corrections, please advise the webmaster.

 

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!


Kudos from a Classmate

 

Good morning Dave,

 

I enjoyed seeing pictures of the 2018 MHS Alumni Association event, especially of our 1963 classmates.  I regret I was unable to attend.  Thank you for what you and others do to maintain a quality website for all of us.  Great job!

- Sandy Clarkson Stuckman

MHS Class of 1963

Alumni Weekend Review

 

2023 MHS Alumni weekend, wow......Simply Wow!
Congratulations to all the faithful who pulled it off! This had to be an extraordinary effort ... great job to all...!

 

A special thanks to Judy Cupp Schultz from me & Tanya for the personal guidance & getting us to Dave Lindlow's & the ‘58 class gathering, and giving me tips on putting some photos
of Old Morocco, Indiana on face book. 
......thanks to Dave Lindlow & our great little ‘58 group....that was really fun......10 of us I think....

I'm not sure  who or whom was responsible for such a terrific Morocco BeaverFest event....but that was simply terrific.....wow!

Antique cars parading & driving around..........
Blocking downtown off, people milling all over....,..
In the middle of the street a live band was really, really good.....and played on & on.....just great......
Betty Kesler Park brewery station.....just great......
Food trucks.....
A "Dunk-Me”, in the town center......wow
And the MHS alumni banquet later which came off great too......!!!

 

We really enjoyed it......ALL!!!!

 

And as if that wasn't enough; After dinner Dave DeKoker suggested we meet at the American Legion/ Bowling alley

 

What a surprise.......Especially since I had been a Pin Setter there all these years ago!  I think I was 12 or 13 at the time.  However, the really fun thing I Learned was that Dave Dekoker had been a Pin Setter there too! Only a few years later after I was......!  Take care!!!

New 1st Grade Photo

 

A new photo has been posted of the 1948 1st Grade Class, taught by Elsa Mae Yoder.  This would go on to be the MHS graduating Class of 1960.  We have only a few of the kids named and those may be incorrect.  If you know any other students’ names, or have corrections, please send them to the webmaster via this email link.  You may view the photo on the Photo Gallery page or by clicking here.


Throwback Basketball Experience

 

On the evening of December 15th, 2018, something quite unusual happened in the Morocco High School Gymnasium.  Time was rewound to 1968, the year the gym fell silent from high school basketball team games forever, but maybe not?  Through the idea and efforts of Morocco Town Councilman Bob Gonczy, a regular season game between North Newton HS and Kankakee Valley HS was arranged to once again play on the MHS hardwoods 50 years later!  KVHS won, but the real winners were all the MHS alumni who attended, swelled with pride and nostalgia of an evening trip back in time, seeing another game played in “our” beautiful gym once again!  Click here to see photos.  Go BEAVERS!


Special Request from Charline, Class of ‘56

 

Hey there alumni, Charline Bridgeman is on the search for any photos that were taken on their 1956 Senior Trip.  If you have any photos of this, please contact her directly via email.  Her address is listed on our Email Addresses page.  She will be very grateful to hear from you.  You may also send them to this webmaster for posting on this site.


Departed Alumni Listing

 

Each year when the Alumni Banquet Reservation Forms come back in to Pat, we sadly receive notices of those who have passed on, either during the previous year, or even earlier years that we were not aware of.  This year was no exception, but it seems we received a “more than normal” number to add to our Eternal Honor Roll.  You may wish to review all of these new postings which are noted in YELLOW print.  Be sure to scroll way down through the page to find all the new ones just added to our listing.  Also, if you know of an Alumnus who passed that we have not listed, please click on any “webmaster” link on this site, or contact any Alumni Officer.

New Sports Team Photos

 

Hey there sports fans, one new basketball team  and two new football team photos have been posted for your viewing.  Check them out.  Also, we are trying to locate some Cross Country team photos for that section now.

 


Kudo For The Website

 

I would like to tell you how much I enjoy the MHS website.  Had we continued to live in Morocco, I was class of '55.  My brother Jack, was class of '49.  However we moved to Arizona in Jan. 1950.  It was by accident I found this site and enjoy seeing those I was in class with.  There were still quite a few in 1955.  We lived in Morocco from Dec. 1944 until 1950, and my father Milt, was partners in the elevator with the Barnett brothers, before forming Morocco Implement Company, a deal for Oliver and New Idea farm machinery, among other things.  My 2nd grade thru 7th grade experiences will never be forgotten, as well as the town, as it was then.

A Funny Thing Happened On The Way Home From Breakfast

by Sue DeKoker

 

I live in Seminole, Florida and this past Saturday as I was driving home with my lady friend, I saw something my eyes could barely believe.  We had been to a “Girls’ Breakfast Out” at a great little restaurant outdoors near the beach.  I noticed up ahead of me in my lane, a fairly slow moving vehicle that appeared to be an old fire truck from the 50’s or so.  As I got closer, I noticed some white lettering on the back of it that didn’t pertain to anything a fire truck would have printed on it.  Of course it had the standard “STAY BACK 500 FEET” and other appropriate gear attached to it, so I knew it was indeed an antique fire truck.  When I was close enough to read the white print, it said……well, I’ll just let you see what it said…click here

A Still Relevant Message from your Past-President

 

Dear Fellow Alumni,

 

This month (May ’17) marks the 50th anniversary of the last class to graduate from Morocco High School. Sixty nine years ago the MHS Alumni Association was started. That association has better enabled us to get together once a year to celebrate our high school memories and renew old friendships.

 

We have a strong base of support. Alumni faithfully pay their dues each year whether they attend the banquet or not. And we receive numerous donations that help offset the cost of the association. Thank you!

 

The annual banquet and meeting doesn’t happen by itself. Your officers are charged with that responsibility. Several of the officers continue in their roles year after year.  They are Connie Ackors Sell, Treasurer; JoAlice Warne Belt, Secretary: and Judy Cupp Schultz, Historian. The Vice President is elected at the meeting and ascends to the Presidency the following year. Carol Warring will be next year’s President and will preside at the 70th annual banquet. We need a Vice President candidate. 

 

With our numbers shrinking, it has become increasingly difficult to find volunteers to serve in those roles. If we cannot fill the officer roles, we risk the discontinuation of the MHS Alumni Association and the annual banquet. Please consider volunteering to help us continue the tradition. Yes, there is a time commitment, but it is fairly minor and the process has been very well documented to make the job easier.

 

If you want to volunteer or have ideas of how we can continue in some different way, please contact any Alumni Officer.

 

Thanks!

Roger LaCosse

Past-President

Class Histories

Now Available!

 

Our seemingly tireless MHS Alumni Assn. Historian, Judy Cupp ’58 Shultz, has done the improbable again!  She has dug through countless old issues of the Morocco Courier, the Old Gold & Black school newspaper and other sources to provide us with an ongoing legacy for all Morocco High School Alumni. This compilation will bring back memories like they were just yesterday.  Everyone needs to read through these, which were prepared to highlight the school history for this year’s Honored Classes.  Please visit the School History page, then tell Judy “Thanks!” the next time you see her.  This is a very impressive body of work.

Good Help Received

 

We asked and we have received some excellent help on naming the individuals in the two old “mystery” photos.  I would like to thank Dave Brandt and Dave Lindlow for providing most of these names.  We still need a few “?” marks replaced, so let me know if you recognize any of those, please.  Thanks.

Renewed Heritage and Morocco Buildings

Dave,

 

Our son, Tim, has completed a brochure (two-sided) that describes their non-profit corporation, Renewed Heritage.  I spoke to you at one time about highlighting their projects and letting people know what they were doing. …their intent is to preserve Morocco buildings as we once knew them. I'm attaching the brochure and you can decide whether it could appear on the website.

 

If you haven't heard, there was no remonstrance against the School Board's proposal to remodel and add on to the Morocco School (along with some upgrades to the other schools.  I am very excited about the prospect—the addition is planned to house grades K-6, so the students will really be in a new school!  The old part of the school will be used for special classes and the administrations of both the school and the corporation. It is exciting!

 

Thanks for your consideration and all the work you do to keep our Website going.

 

Bonnie Storey


Thanks Expressed

The following was submitted by an Alumnus for publication.  -Editor

 

Many Thanks to the MHS Alumni Website and the MOROCCO TIMES newspaper.

 

I would like to suggest to all you alumni out there; don't be shy or worried about signing up for MHS Alumni website; it's safe, and It's really a pleasure to check in on the what's happening with our alumni. It's great to see and read what's going on in the old home town. Dave (and from Tampa, no less) has done such a terrific job of putting it together AND keeping it updated. We're all very fortunate that someone's willing to provide such a rich and classy presentation  - - and at no cost!  - -

 

Come on in the water's fine; the more the merrier; email Dave and get internet connected. It's a kind of glue that can help us all stay up to date and linked together; besides that; we really need to keep DAVE engaged; if he doesn't do it, who will. He's even delivering back issues of the MOROCCO TIMES now; courtesy of the link up with Gerald Born.

 

Speaking of the MOROCCO TIMES, I'd also like to commend Gerald Born for his skill and efforts with his new Morocco newspaper. He's put some real life back into old Morocco and refreshed us all with his publication. Think of it; launching a newspaper in today's world; in Morocco - - how risky is that! And, what a style he has; it's like many of his readers tell him,"it's like getting a letter from home"; what a treat. I'm sure most of you can imagine the time, energy and expense of doing such a job today. I see that he is providing the MHS Website with the back issues - - what a terrific thing to do. To all of us that appreciate these efforts and those kinds of things; I suggest that we reward those who toil for us, by subscribing to the MOROCCO TIMES - - it's (ed. No longer available) - - and sign up for the MHS Alumni Website; think of it as our patriotic chore and pitching in, when it needs it. As you all can see, I really appreciate what these guys are doing and I hope you will too.

 

Sincerely,

Don DeKoker ‘58
