 MINUTES OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE  

NWC HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

OF GREATER OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, INC.

Minutes of Tuesday, April 10, 2012

 

The Executive Committee of the NWCHSAA, (hereafter “the Association”) met in the home of Connie Sims.  

Members present were: Joe Baumhaft; Darlene Bateman, Janese Fair, Connie Sims, Ramona Ware, Bill Whetstone, and Mary St. John.  

Janese opened the meeting at 6:45 p.m.

MINUTES:   Mary read the Minutes of March 6.  Bill noted in last paragraph on page 1 a correction is needed to the following sentence: “There was a discussion about the soccer coach needing 20 balls.” Change the wording to “There was a discussion about the soccer coach needing 20 soccer balls.”  Bill made a motion with 2nd by Ramona to accept  the Minutes with that correction.  The motion was approved.  

TREASURER'S REPORT:  

Connie commented our books are on the Peachtree system.   She said she's experiencing a problem with posting expenses to category codes.   

She stated the opening balance in Checking is $12,441.13.  Deposits in March totaled $1,247 and wrote several checks totaling $5,096.23, leaving a balance of $8951.90.  There are anticipated expenses of $900 (Jr ROTC award $250, Newsletter software $250, Sander for gym seat repairs $400).

MEMBERSHIP:

Ramona stated there are 233 members currently.

MUSEUM:

Bill has learned nothing new about the History Room materials.  He hopes it is in one of the storage units in the parking lot.

NEWSLETTER:

Joe has plans to seek out some famous NWC grads, like Rick Bayless, Eric Logan who is now Harpo's CEO, Stan Rosenfield, Cliff Hudson and/or Leann Hammack in order to write a feature article about various alums for future newsletters.    

Ramona said the next newsletter will probably go to press the end of June.  Bill said he will get a list of NWC graduation awards to include and also some sports activities.

NEW BUSINESS:

Janese said she received an e-mail from Daniel deSouza soccer coach thanking the Association for the soccer balls we purchased for him. 

Janese also heard from Jack Snoddy about ROTC's Col. Green who has had some health issues and is close to retirement.  The Colonel loves the results he sees among the kids in the ROTC program and even donates $50 himself.  The kids eagerly get involved, develop leadership skills, take responsibility, and compete to win the annual award.  The $250 award the Association gives stimulates the ROTC students to get more involved.  Col. Green is very proud of his students.  The award ceremony will be April 20 at 1 p.m.   Three awards will be given:  Karen Garcia, Yazmin Hernandez and Ashley Ha.  Jack Snoddy put a check in the mail to the Association for $115, $15 dues and $100 for the ROTC award.

REVISED MINUTES OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE  

NWC HIGH SCHOOL ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

OF GREATER OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA, INC.

Minutes of Tuesday, March 6, 2012

 

The Executive Committee of the NWCHSAA, (hereafter “the Association”) met in the home of Connie Sims.  

Members present were: Joe Baumhaft; Darlene Bateman, Janese Fair, Dana Seaton, Connie Sims, Ramona Ware, Bill Whetstone, and Mary St. John.  

Janese opened the meeting at 6:50 p.m.

MINUTES:   Mary read the Minutes of January 31. A motion to accept the Minutes as read was made by Ramona with a 2nd by Bill.  The motion was approved.  

TREASURER'S REPORT:  

Connie commented she successfully finally got Peachtree set up after enormous effort.  The January balance in Checking is $12,391.13 and $2,129.69 in Savings.  She's waiting for the February bank statement.  Deposits in February totaled $1,250 and one check written to NWC Library for $1,200.

MEMBERSHIP:

Ramona stated there are 184 members currently.

NEWSLETTER:

Ramona said she has had some problems with Word inserting pictures into the newsletter text.  Joe plans to to gather more NWC memories, like he did in past newsletters.   Since members got short changed on newsletters this year she said she would include some currently non-payers in order to make 200 pieces required for bulk mail. 

NEW BUSINESS:

Ramona has questions: 1) She received the invoice for the Treasurer from State Farm for the annual $135 liability insurance, a bond to cover those on the bank checking account.  Ramona made a motion with 2nd by Joe to pay the invoice.  Unanimously approved.   2) Ramona will search for a computer for the NWC award ceremony as discussed at a past meeting.

There was a discussion about the soccer coach needing 20 soccer balls that are NLHS approved equipment required for schools.  Bill volunteered to purchase these items for the school.  

Bill said that Dena Frankenfeld of the Music Department mentioned they could use another $1,400 practice piano.  Also, another request for 20 girl's uniforms @$150 each since the ones they have are quite old and there are more girls who want to play.  Ramona made a motion with 2nd by Dana that we buy 10 units for $3,000.  Unanimously approved.

Janese appointed the following positions and asked for their approval:  Darlene – Calling, Bill – School Liaison, Joe – Newsletter, Mary – Reunion, and Dana – Museum.  Positions approved.

Bill restated the wood bleacher repairs that he discussed at the last meeting re the boys Gym:   50 feet, 6 sections, 5-600 individual pieces of wood to be replaced.   The teacher told Bill he feels the class could not do the work done.  Bill got a quote to have the work done for $7,200 and said the repair would probably take 3 months, including shellac, varnish, refinish and some replaced.  Ramona asked Bill to see if we purchase a sander, could the students do this job.

No further business, the meeting adjourned about 9 p.m.  

Submitted by,

Mary St. John

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.

Northwest Classen High School History

Northwest Classen High School was built in 1955 to meet the growing need for educational facilities in northwest Oklahoma City.  It was designed after a committee of architects and administrators visited and studied forty schools in seven states.  The final architechure plan was made by Hudgins, Thompson, Ball and Associates, and construction was performed by the Builders Company.  The building was first opened on September 3, 1955 with 10th, 11th and 12th grades.  The 9th grade were admitted when the second wing was completed in 1956.  Enrollment in 1956 was 2,002.
