The annual North Hopkins School Alumni Homecoming was held on Saturday, October 10, 2015, in the school cafeteria. The event began with registration and Bingo, followed by a delicious meal, catered by BirthWright BBQ. After the meal, Tommy Long presided over the business meeting and welcomed guests. The group agreed to have the next homecoming on October 8, 2016. They also voted to elect the current officers for another year – Tommy Long, President; Evelyn Arnold Horne, Vice President; Sherry Smiddy, Secretary; and Jan Horn Vaughn, Treasurer/Reporter. The group was treated to a video, honoring the Classes of 1965, 1975, and 1985, for their 50-, 40-, and 30-year reunion. The video was made by Mrs. Lucas’ technology classes. Mr. Long gave the honored class members the opportunity to share a little about themselves, and then asked for a show of hands of members from each of the other classes. The group had a moment of silence in memory of former students and staff who are deceased. The Monday Night Jam band provided musical entertainment, while former students enjoyed visiting, sharing memories and catching up on the events in each others lives. Door prizes were given throughout the evening. Close to 70 people were in attendance. Representing the Class of 1965 were Ronny Glossup, Bobby Joslin, Mary Martin Boles, Sandra Kennimer, Joyce Weir Dodd, and Nell Baugh.
