Included in the plans are an opening night reception at the Beverly Art Center, featuring artworks by alumni, live entertainment and “A Taste of the Old Neigh- borhood” with treats from places like Red’s and Original Rainbow Cone. Sat- urday events will include an open house at the high school, and a dinner dance at 115 Bourbon Street is designed to bring back memories of the sock hops and Fri- day night Canteen dances with bands that will bring back the sounds of the 1950s through the 1970s. The planning committee welcomes volunteers to help with these events. Information is available on the website, empehireunion2014.com, and at 385-336-7344(385-3EMPEHI) and em- [email protected]. Besides catching up on old times, the event is the opportunity to give back to the school and community. Alumni were sorry to learn that the high school’s Curtain Club, which put on annual theatrical productions, had dis- solved. Blackwelder Hall, where the productions were held, needs updated sound and lighting systems. The proceeds from a silent auction and other fundraising activities will be donated to help with need- ed renovations and reviving the Curtain Club. Auction items are being accepted. The EMPEHI Film/Photo Project, spearheaded by Emmy award-winning filmmaker and MPHS alumnus Barry Kirk, will be a compilation of old still photos, slides and home movies, inter- spersed with material of historic impor- tance, set to a soundtrack.
