E-MAIL NEWSLETTER:  Dana requested that articles be submitted for
January 15th deadline.
~Allison volunteered to submit an article for the William P.
Kincaid Scholarship Fund.
~Bill will submit articles drawn from "Chieftain" publications
as well as personal teacher experiences at IHHS.  Past Senior
Class pranks were thought to be a topic of interest.
~Jay will submit follow-up articles for the Saturday, June 21,
2003 IHHSAA Northeast Regional Reunion in Boston, MA.
~Jeff will submit follow-up articles and photos for the Saturday,
October 4, 2003 Golf Outing.
~Geoff will seek interviews and information covering the opening
of the new IHHS at 6845 Drake Road in 1963.
Discussion took place regarding the possibility of including
photos within E-Mail Newsletters.  It was noted that all IHHSAA
members do not have computer equipment that could handle such
downloads and it is our desire to serve all members as best as
possible.  It was suggested that we have a link to lead members
to our website (http://www.ihhsaa.org) for any desired photo
input.

WM. P. KINCAID SCHOLARSHIP FUND:  Allison requested support in
considering applications submitted and distribution of funds in
a timely and proper manner.  Allison and Jay are hopeful to have
a meeting with Peg to review files and to discuss this fund in
more detail.  They will also discuss formation of a new
committee.  It was suggested that we make note in the E-Mail
Newsletter of a need for volunteers to serve on this committee.

ARCHIVES:  Greg reported that he and Herb Hillard (Class of 1954)
have done a wrap-up for the Sports Hall of Fame years 1954-1979.
The cost and type of plaque to be used will be explored.
"Legend" advertisement costs will be confirmed.  Our concern is
submission of an ad to meet their time line for 2003.
Greg will move forward in obtaining "Legend" copies for our
Archive files.  It was suggested that each year we purchase one
or two copies from Greg's "wish list" of missing yearbooks.  Cost
is $45.00 each.  It was also suggested that we solicit yearbook
contributions in our E-Mail Newsletter.

SOCIAL REPORT:  Jeff reported that things are on track for the
Golf Outing in Mason, Ohio.  He will follow up regarding details
of the "flag per hole" concept with Crooked Tree personnel.
Geoff and he are clear about handling of funds.  As other
arrangements for volunteers, food, carts, tee times, etc. develop
Jeff will report back to us.
		
IHHS ALUMNI MAILING:  Jay presented a three-page rough outline of
his proposed letter to be send out to IHHS Alumni.  This was
similar to a mini-workshop for all present to give  suggestions
before the final copy was to go to the printers.

MISCELLANEOUS:  Bill made special note that the High School
Library/Media Center has an "Authors" section.  The books on
display are contributions from alumni and cover many topics.  It
was suggested that we include an article in the E-Mail Newsletter
on this subject.

There being no further business the meeting was adjourned at
8:50 PM.

Respectfully submitted,

Joan K. Ewell
Secretary
