HISTORY OF THE BGHS ALUMNI ASSOCIATION
In 1984, a group of BGHS graduates, many from the classes of
1930-1935, met to discuss the possibility of forming an Alumni Association. The group was led especially by Dorothy Bibb
Krein and Virginia Craig Wendel of the class of 1932. This founding group held the first banquet in
1985 for the purpose of planning a scholarship program that would help
graduating seniors each year. The first
scholarship of $250.00 was given to Jay Niemeyer. The organization was
incorporated on April 7, 1986. The first
officers were:
President – Charles Schuckenbrock
Vice President – Bill McIlroy
Treasurer – Frieda Hall
Board Members – Dan Galloway and Fenton Hurd
We owe great appreciation to this group of BGHS graduates
for their hard work and vision to form this organization that lives today to
celebrate the education and memories of four important years in the lives of
everyone who graduated from Bowling Green High School.
