ACHS Class of 1971 Reunion

By Debbie Peppers

On April 16, 2022, 28 Adair County High School classmates met at Swans Landing for their 51st class reunion. 28 classmates showed up out of 39 who had registered. Everyone enjoyed catching up with each other before and after the meal. A short program included reading the list of classmates who had died, and taking a moment to remember them. Out of a graduating class of 171, 32 classmates have passed away with 12 of them in the past four years.

Next, Phillip Coffey read a poem that he had written, and Marsha Bragg Grant read a poem about people going to class reunions. Each classmate received a booklet with the program printed from the Baccalaureate and graduation. The booklet also contained a section from the Smoke Signals newspaper which included the students who had the characteristics of the perfect senior girl and boy.

Letter: LWC Tennis teams

Charles G. Hunt writes:
The LWC men's tennis team was featured for their awards after the NAIA MidSouth Conference Awards ceremonies. The men won 5 All MSC awards. In an after thought to the Men's achievements we learn the Women won 8 All MSC awards. Why aren't the Women's achievements featured ahead of the Men's?
Charles, Thank you very much for writing. We posted news of the women's awards on Wednesday, a half day ahead of the men's results. They're now lower on our front page because it sorts "newest first," but that's a temporal result, not an editorial one. --Pen
