Reunion Survey
| In October 2004, each member of the Memorial High School
class of 1959 on our mailing list received a questionnaire to help us plan for our 50th
reunion in 2009. The responses from the questionnaires have been compiled
on this page. There is a difference in numbers
for each question because some people did not answer all questions. If
that happened, it was because the person did not have a preference either
way, or was not at the 45th Reunion and couldn't answer the question. A
BIG "Thank you" to everyone who returned the questionnaires. Your input
will definitely help when we start planning the 50th Reunion. (updated

| 1. The Reunion Committee is
suggesting September 11 & 12, 2009, for our next Class Reunion. |
| 100 people
indicated |
That's a good
idea. I agree. |
| 6 people
indicated |
I'd rather
have it ... (with various suggestions). |
| 6 people
wrote in |
I'd rather
have it ... just one night |
|
(We will plan to have our 50th Reunion the weekend of September 11-12,
2009. Reservations can only be made eighteen months prior to the events
in the Eau Claire area. Therefore, look for the final "word" on this in
April, 2008.) |
| 2. Many people have suggested
holding the Friday night get-together in a BIG room/HALL at a local
Hotel. It would still be a very casual gathering with a cash bar, but we
would have to pay for rental of the room, so there would be a minimal
charge of $5.00/$10.00. |
| 83 people
indicated |
That's a good
idea. I agree. |
| 7 people
indicated |
I'd rather
... (with various suggestions). |
| 3. Everyone seems to like the
Name Tags. Would you rather have them: |
| 77
indicated |
with high
school pictures. |
| 19
indicated |
without high
school pictures. |
|
One person suggested the names be on the name tag, and we should give
everyone a chance to personalize the name tags with a picture or
design. (That might work too!) |
| 4. Musical input would be
appreciated. |
| 45 people
indicated |
I liked the
45th reunion without music. Let's do the same thing in 2009. |
| 57 people
indicated |
I would like
some 50's Music playing softly in the background during the evening.
(Many of these answers emphasized the word "softly" by underlining it or
circling it.) |
| 9 people
indicated |
I would like
someone like Mickey Lynnes to play for entertainment after dinner and be
able to dance. (Three people had a big "NO!" in that blank.) |
| 5. These questions indicated
attendance. The numbers are: |
| 9 people attended the 45th
Reunion on Friday night only. |
| 9 people attended the 45th
Reunion on Saturday night only. |
| 54 attended the 45th
Reunion both nights. |
| 33 did not attend the 45th
Reunion. |
| 101 plan to be at the 50th
Reunion. |
| 1 does not plan to be at
the 50th Reunion. |
| 6. Dessert is a controversial
issue. |
| 29 people
indicated |
I want
dessert at the Saturday night dinner, and I'm willing to pay for it. |
| 62 people
indicated |
I don't think
dessert is important. |
