The 2013 banquet attendance was stellar. Honored classes were 1938, 1943, 1963, 1973, 1983 and 1988. Gary Schlapfer “64” was Master of Ceremony and entertained all with an Arlington trivia game with the winning table receiving champagne for their efforts. Problem was the 2013 scholarship recipients table won and they weren’t old enough to know some of those trivia questions let alone drink the champagne. Do you think they used their smart phones?
The Hall of Fame Award was presented to Lila (Greunke) Scheer “57” and Kent Stork “68”.
Marian Wilkins Award was presented to Beverly Adams.
The Eagle Support Award was presented to Beverly(Royuk) Greunke “64”.
