annual alumni festivities that take<br />
place the second weekend in<br />
June. There is always a lot of<br />
excitement in the air around here<br />
on alumni weekend!<br />
The banquet, on Saturday, June 9,<br />
will again be held at the Elks<br />
Lodge at 555 Otto Street in <strong>Port</strong><br />
<strong>Townsend</strong>. Social hour begins at 4<br />
PM. All graduates and nongraduates<br />
are welcome to attend<br />
and say hello to old friends and<br />
classmates.<br />
Dinner starts at 6 PM. Reservations are required for<br />
the dinner and are due by June 4. You will find the<br />
order form at the end of this newsletter. (It is also on<br />
the PTHS website, under Alumni.) PTHS Alumni<br />
Association dues must also be paid with the dinner<br />
orders for any PTHS graduates, if they have not yet<br />
been paid. The dues are the backbone of our<br />
association and enable us to award several<br />
scholarships each year to PTHS graduates.<br />
<br />
agreed to be our master of ceremonies. The special<br />
guests from the oldest graduating class will be<br />
introduced along with the <strong>2012</strong> officers, and, of<br />
<br />
winners. After the roll call and toasts, we will close with<br />
the singing of the Alma Mater.<br />
Music for the dance is provided by Louie & Selena and<br />
is always a fun time! Please plan to stay to visit and<br />
dance.<br />
If your reunion group would like a photo taken, let me<br />
(Jan Boutilier) know as I will be there roving around<br />
with my camera. Any time before dinner works best for<br />
pictures.<br />

games to the PTHS Alumni Association. Thanks to those who turned out for a<br />
fun time to raise money for our scholarship fund!<br />
Welcome <strong>Spring</strong>! Didn't it seem as though Winter lasted forever?<br />
