50th Anniversary Gala--NEED HELP!
Hello McCluer Alumni!
I am asking for your help. For those of you who don't know me, I've been the theatre teacher/director at McCluer since 2002 and am also the district Fine Arts Coordinator. This year is the 50th anniversary of McCluer. In honor, we are performing a 50th anniversary tribute (and history of theatre at McCluer) at the Florissant Civic Center on December 7. I'm trying to get representatives from EVERY graduating class. I'm having some issues with some of the timeline in the 80s and 90s since not all of the shows were in the yearbook!
The show will be a revue, and feature songs from past/present/future McCluer musicals. No costumes! We are only going to do a week of rehearsals and then do this bad boy. If this works, I've agreed to start a community theatre at the new Ferguson Community Center when it's complete, and we will do an all alumni show in the summer!
Dress will be "dressy" and stick to the following colors: red, blue, gold (that metallic, NOT yellow), black and white. We will be doing some video and lighting effects. Dress rehearsal will be the evening of December 6 at the civic center. There will be a reception after the show on the 7th (all proceeds will go to McCluer Fine Arts) and there will be an alumni art show in the lobby,
If you are available, please answer the following and send it to me at
derwin@fergflor org. Hope to see you there!

re: All Alumni Happy Hour Reunion-Fri,Sept.24th-Ferguson/Florissant H.S.-JitterSwing Dance Club
Hello, my name is Jan Scott. I work with Terry James, the owner and DJ for the JitterSwing Dance Club in St. Louis, MO.
We have started a new venue in St. Louis, to help with High School Reunions. Most Alumni never have a Class Reunion, since nobody seems to want to take on the huge task of organizing it. Some schools find it easier if they have ALL ALUMNI Reunions.
We already hold a dance w/lessons at the Concord Farmer's Club, in St. Louis, MO, on Friday evenings (from 7-11 pm) and now will be setting a date for each High School, in the St. Louis/IL Metro area, to gather their classmates (of ALL YEARS), and meet from 5-7 pm, for an All Alumni Reunion, prior to our dance. Your school will be invited to stay for dance lessons and/or the dance - the whole evening, for one price of $7/person.
Please see the following information and give us a call, for this date, for all of the Ferguson/Florissant High Schools. Come join us for a great time and put together an All Alumni Reunion at the same time!
Thank You!
