MINUTES OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
NWC
HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
OF
GREATER OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, INC.
Minutes of Tuesday, November 8, 2011
The Executive Committee of the NWCHSAA, (hereafter “the
Association”) met in the home of
Connie Sims, November 8, 2011 at 6:30
p.m.
Members present were: Joe Baumhaft; Janese Fair, Chris Heldenbrand, Connie Sims, Bill
Whetstone, and Mary St. John.
Janese opened the meeting about 6:30 p.m.
NEWSLETTER: Janese asked Chris about progress on a
newsletter, to which he replied
that he does not have very much for it. Chris stated he plans to interview the NWC
principal
and include that. He feels he
can get it ready for the printer next week. Chris is also waiting
for some spring sport info and for reunion
organizers to submit pictures. Janese
said the
Ballot needs to go out soon and if the newsletter is not ready soon,
perhaps it needs to be
mailed separately.
HISTORY ROOM: Bill said he met with the principal
recently. The new Museum space is
not available
currently, but may be around March 1. Changes to the auditorium that Friends
of NWC planned to do required the
architects to redesign some features, he said, so
progress is slow.
In addition, Bill learned that there was nothing budgeted
for landscaping in MAPS3.
MISCELLANEOUS: Mary asked whether we are behind in not
giving the Librarian a check
for monthly prizes and the reading competition she
proposed doing. We approved $1200
at the
Sept. meeting. Janese replied that
Ramona is waiting for the Librarian to contact
her before a check is
written. Bill
made a motion with 2nd by Joe that the motion
be approved as
amended. Motion approved unanimously.
Chris commented that the Teacher Hall of Fame will be
established as part of the History
Room and he will be in touch with Jerry
Bednar. He hopes it will create
interest and
participation among NWC alums. Janese suggested perhaps including an article in the
newsletter about a
favorite teacher.
TREASURER'S
REPORT:
Connie reports the 8/31/11 Checking account balance was
$11,218, less checks clearing
the bank in September totaling $1,870, leaves a
cash balance of $9,346. Deposit totaled
$440, so the ending balance is $9,786. Designated Funds total $4225.41 plus 2 checks
have not cleared the bank
for $119.93. Thus the checking's cash on
hand is $5,440.66.
She added we did not
write the library check because it would take us below $5,000 in
checking.
NEW BUSINESS :
Janese asked Joe if he had anything to say. He said he and Chris plan to talk about
newsletter.
Connie mentioned her pursuit to find software to
use for financial reports. She asked
when she finds it, does she have authority to buy it? Discussion followed about software
available
and the cost. Bill commented Connie can
spend up to the approved
amount. Unfortunately an amount was not specified. Chris recommends trying Tigerdirect,
Fry's,
or Quickbooks. com. Connie feels not as
many mistakes are made with professional
accounting software. Chris said he uses Quickbooks, which has a
website with video to
explain various functions.
The meeting adjourned about 8 p.m.

OKC Update for out-of-towners!! From a friend...
OKC has a new stretch of I-40 replacing the
current crosstown freeway.
I used it for the first time Friday and it is most unique.
We took a long walk in today, sightseeing in our
own town, one of our favorite things to do.
Here is a picture of the
new Sky Bridge sculpture with Devon tower and the older
downtown buildings.

President’s Note by Ramona Ware, Class of ‘57
Hello again, Knights and Ladies, It seems almost impossible that another year is gone. Planning is already underway for this year. At the Board of Director’s meeting in October, a new group of officers was elected, and filled their new positions on January 1, 2009. At that meeting, the Directors decided that, since I had only served ½ of a term, I was eligible to serve as President again, for another term. This was also something of a necessity, since no one else was willing to “step up.” We still need more new blood to take the reins when we “old horses” just can’t pull the wagon any more. It was also determined at the meeting, that since Lynde Nash had also served in the position of Recording Secretary for only ½ term, that she was also eligible to serve in that capacity again.
The officers for the 2009-2010 term are as follows: President Ramona Ware ’57
Operations Vice President Telannia Norfar ’94
Membership Vice President Janese Menn Fair ’57
Spirit Vice President Darlene Bateman ’57
Recording Secretary Lynde Nash ’74
Corresponding Secretary Sara Jo Odom ’60
Treasurer Mary Putt St.John ’57
As you can see from the list above, our stats are improving, but we still have too many “oldies” in key positions. We have numerous committee chairmanship positions for those of you who would like to get involved. They don’t require too much time. We would LOVE to have some of you volunteer, either for a chairmanship, or as a worker bee on one of the committees.
The committees are:
Endowment Events/Projects Finance Legal Long Range Planning Membership Mentoring Public Relations Reunion Search
During 2008, we spent your money on the following items/projects:
- Museum ($556.63) - Shelves, frames, glass, and miscellaneous supplies
- Kelly Maples ($500) - Last of $1000 Paulette Thrower scholarship
- Army ROTC ($250) - First time anyone had donated to them
- Art Department ($331.98) - Drying rack and trays for ceramics
- Chemistry Department ($1,504.51) - Equipment
- Teen Empower ($500) - Sex education for students, an unbelievable program
- Four Scholarships ($2,000) - $500 each to Nhi Nguyen, Yaseli Barios, Luisa Garcia and Kim Hoang
- Science Class ($250) - Field trip for the 9th grade academy
- Cheerleaders ($1,700) - New uniforms to help with school spirit. The old ones were about 13 to 14 years old. These will last a long time. They are passed on from year to year.
As Mary St. John is fond of saying, “There is power in $15.00.” There is also power in volunteers.
If any of you are willing to get involved and help us, please contact me at 405-721-3178 or

Northwest Classen's band returns to the field!  Last season, the band marched for the first time in years, band director Rheuben Green said. This year, Green started a jazz band and some students are learning second instruments. Students will go to concert band contests next semester. "I think because we’re more established and the student body has seen what we are trying to do, more kids are coming,” Green said. "We’re excited to be here, and we plan on being here a long time.” In the past three years, grants from the Friends of Northwest Classen High School Foundation have put the school’s band back on the marching field. Earlier this month, the organization of alumni gave teachers at the school $61,000 in grants, with the largest grant — $12,000 — going to the band. Principal Tamie Sanders said since the band started receiving grants from the organization, band membership has increased from eight students to 38. Much of the recent $12,000 grant went to purchase instruments. "Our kids don’t own their own instruments,” Sanders said. "We didn’t have the instruments. Our instruments were broken or nonexistent. It has remade the band.” Last season, the band marched for the first time in years, band director Rheuben Green said. This year, Green started a jazz band and some students are learning second instruments. Students will go to concert band contests next semester. "I think because we’re more established and the student body has seen what we are trying to do, more kids are coming,” Green said. "We’re excited to be here, and we plan on being here a long time.” The Friends of Northwest Classen High School Foundation was created three years ago, said Lynne Hardin, a member of the foundation board. Hardin said when she returned to Oklahoma City after living elsewhere, she saw the school needed help. "To see that it had been left unattended was just unacceptable,” Hardin said. "The last few years, the change has been extraordinary.” Sanders said the grants are helping teachers provide more in their classrooms for students. The school now has three art teachers because the demand for art classes has increased, she said. Giving students more options can help improve attendance, she said. "I want to offer them as much as we can,” she said. ©2008 NewsOK.com |

Hello Knights and Ladies, I’m Ramona Ware ’57, President of the Northwest Classen High School Alumni Association, Inc., and would like to clarify something about which many of you have some confusion, or outright lack of knowledge. I’ve received numerous communications from people trying to contact the “other” alumni group – yes, there are two of us. The Association mentioned above, and owner of this website, is almost 13 years old. We work closely with the administration, teachers, coaches, Jr. ROTC, and student groups, giving monies to them when needed, especially in “emergency” situations. In addition, every year since founding, we have awarded from one to four scholarships, in amounts of $500.00 to $1000.00, to deserving seniors. We also work on searching for lost classmates in all classes, help with reunions when requested, etc. We are available to help with all kinds of problems of NWC, students, and alumni, year round. We also publish quarterly newsletters which are sent to all members of the Association to keep them involved and aware of what is happening with us and NWC. Our dues are $15.00 per person, annually. Reunion information, registered grads, and more can be found on this website, www.NWCHSAA.org. |

At the rising of the sun and at its going down, We remember them.
At the blowing of the wind and in the chill of Winter, We remember them.
At the opening of buds and in the rebirth of Spring, We remember them.
At the blueness of the skies and in the warmth of Summer, We remember them.
At the rustling of leaves and the beauty of Autumn, We remember them.
At the beginning of the year and when it ends,We remember them.
As long as we live, they too will live; for they are now a part of us, as we remember them.
When we are weary and in need of strength,We remember them.
When we are lost and sick at heart, We remember them.
When we have joys we yearn to share,We remember them.
When we have decisions that are difficult to make,We remember them.
When we have achievements that are based on theirs, We remember them.
As long as we live, they too shall live,for they are a part of us, as we remember them.
