Homecoming

Thank you to everyone who was able to make it to homecoming and or contribute in some way. We had one of the best turnouts in years. There were alumni ranging from the mid to early 80’s to 2015 alumni. The pictures above were from the Alumni tailgate, we even had a bounce house for the kids. We have our 50th Anniversary coming up in 2022 and we want to start coming up with ideas for something to do for this. If anyone has any suggestions please feel free to let an alumni board member know.

Alumni Social:

Golf Outing: The alumni golf outing date and location is still to be determined. We are looking at different dates and locations since interest for last years was low. Please contact Ben St John “Farva” if you have comments or questions. 812-322-7635

Basketball Outing:

The option of renting a suite at the Crossroads Classic was discussed at the Homecoming Alumni Meeting. Due to the high cost and limited amount of tickets we will not be going this route. Instead we went with the Nebraska game on January 6th, it’s a 2:15 tip-off. We have 32 tickets (Section 117, Rows15-17, Seats 13-22). Tickets will be $40 apiece and are on a first come first serve basis. Please contact Mick Murfitt to reserve a ticket. 765-427-4793. Tickets will be handed out the day of the game.

State of the House

Gemini activated 18 pledges to go along with 20 actives.The pledge project this year was the 2nd floor head: new stalls, mirrors, toilets, countertops, lights and everything was painted. The house is financially in the black but is not as comfortable as they would like due to some costly repairs.

House Repairs

The house members are currently working on taking care of a growing list of house repairs. Most recently a boiler on the second floor started leaking into the formal room. There is also a leak from the showers. Both of these leaks have been patched for the time being but will need further attention in the future. The roof looks like it will be the next costly item that needs replaced.

If anyone would like to assist with this house repair process, either by repair suggestions or donations please contact Justin Stirm at or by phone (317)-504-4405.
