HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE TOM McKINNEY HONORED BY BHSN
March 2006 he was inducted into the Indiana High School Basketball Hall of Fame. Diehards say he coached the 'last' state champion. His 1997 Bloomington North Varsity team won the last of the 87 'open' boys' state high school basketball tournaments, before
class basketball began in Indiana the next season.
A native of Columbus, where he was a sophomore reserve on Bill Stearman's No. 1-ranked 1964 team that was unbeaten until the state semifinals, McKinney was a 25-year head coach, with a record of 415-168. The last 17 of those head-coaching years were at Bloomington
North, where his teams won nine sectionals, two regionals, and two semi-states. His 1999-2000 team, which included current NBA players Jared Jeffries and Sean May, was undefeated until losing to Marion (and NBA star Zach Randolph) in the 4A championship game.
McKinney coached five other Indiana All-Stars (Jeffries and May each was "Mr. Basketball"). He retired as North coach in 2004.
The Bloomington North Athletic Department recognized him at a boys varsity basketball game.
See the Tuesday 3/21 article in the Herald Times paper. See Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame web: http://www.hoopshall.com/
HALL OF FAME INDUCTEE JEANNINE BUTLER HONORED BY BHSN
January 2006 following the Girls's Basketball Senior Night ceremony and prior to the Lady Cougars varsity basketball game, the Bloomington North Athletic Department invited the entire Cougar family and the Bloomington Community to join in honoring her outstanding
contributions and Hall of Fame induction.
She served BHS North for many years as an educator, administrator, friend and pioneer in the field of women's athletics.
April 2006 she was inducted in to the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame. See Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame web: http://www.hoopshall.com/
RETIREES HONORED AT RECEPTION JUNE 1, 2006
Dr. Deniese Smith after 38 years of teaching and Counselor Dr.Kathleen would love to hear from their past and present students.

CONTACT US FOR HELP IN PLANNING YOUR REUNION!
Be it the 5th, 10th, 25th, 30th, or 35th, a reunion is one of the best ways to rekindle the memories and friendships made. And as has been seen, there are many kinds, lengths and locations of reunions. Remember to have fun, enjoy sharing with friends, your
memories, and the special time you spend here in Bloomington!
Following are HELPFUL HINTS and suggestions to help ease planning and ensure a great time!
SELECT THE CO-CHAIRPERSONS Committee:
Try to include at least three members of the group, to take on the responsibilities of event chairpersons and treasurer, to sign all contracts and bank accounts. Class Officers are not historically the ones who keep class reunions going, it is local classmates
who have the interest. Never allow one person to control all contracts and accounts.
SELECT SUB-COMMITTEES for other individual jobs:
Location arrangements, reservations, food, decorations, printed program, speakers, entertainment, invitations, photography, accommodations, publicity chairman, memory book chairman, name tags and awards.
DECIDE DATE and PLACE:
It is important to select the date and place early - at least a year or 18 months in advance, depending on the place and type of event. Consider "fun" dates such as Homecoming or North vs South games. Most CONTRACTS must be signed one year in advance.
GATHER NAMES, ADDRESSES:
Contact BHSN ALUMNI to inquire if we have your class list. Return the updated list after the reunion event, for safekeeping. We do not share information.
SET a PRELIMINARY BUDGET, taking into consideration cost of:
Bar, centerpieces, entertainment, food, gifts, invitation postage and printing, location, nametags, pictures, prizes, room size, speakers, tables, videos.
FUNDRAISE:
Determine a creative way to make money for the event, consider a silent auction, sell tickets to win Tee shirts, ask everybody to pitch in, ask parents of classmates with businesses to sponsor, or sell Ad space in printed program at $25 per business card Ad.
PLAN EVENT:
Make a time line of necessary steps and tasks, including making site reservations, dates for printing and mailing, making nametags and setting up for the event.
Offering activities to accommodate families may ensure a better turnout. If an overnight stay is planned, try to arrange for group rates at a local hotel or motel. Consider arranging for babysitting service.
Be creative when planning. The possibilities are endless! Have a theme, display memorabilia, conduct a silent auction and use the proceeds to benefit the reunion, or present awards or assemble a songbook.
SEND INVITATIONS:
COMMUNICATION IS KEY. Give as much information as possible in each mailing to build interest. Request help in locating members of the reunion group. List members found or planning to attend to build excitement. Invite members their significant others and/or
families.
Send the invitation at least eight to sixteen weeks in advance. Be sure to include: the final response date necessary to confirm attendance, cost, hotel/motel information, mention any special guests or if babysitting is available.
