nola alumni take note, as it’s nearly time for the annual Inola High School Alumni Banquet.

The 83rd annual banquet has been scheduled for Saturday, May 13 in the Inola Elementary School cafeteria.

“As (alumni banquet) coordinator this year, I would urge all alumni old and new to get in touch with us and attend this year’s banquet,” said Anne Lane, director, Inola Public Library. “All seniors and former Inola graduates are welcome.”

This year, the graduating class of 1967 will be recognized as the 50th year honor class.

Doors for the event will open at 5:30 p.m. for visitation and fellowship, with dinner to be served at 7 p.m.

The Jerry Oquin attendance incentive drawing of $1,000 will be drawn the evening of the banquet. Persons must be present to win.

Additionally, three will be two $250 scholarships drawn this evening and awarded to two senior boy and one senior girl in attendance.

Cost to attend the Inola High School Alumni Banquet is $20, except for 50-year graduates, the cost for whom will be half-price — $10. Cost for guests of attendees will be $20. Inola High School 2017 seniors will be the special guests of the alumni.

“The theme this year is ‘Longhorn Round-up’, so we’re encouraging everyone to put on their jeans and boots and come on down for a night of fun, festivities, and catching up with old friends,” Lane said. “It’s going to be a great evening for everyone, whether they’re just a senior or haven’t been a senior in years. All alumni are welcome.”
