Homecoming at Hogeye a Success The Hogeye Homecoming held Sunday, September 4, 1966, brought scores of former residents and their families to the Community Center for a catered barbecue dinner and the visitation and business session later. Approximately 200 registered with a count of 130 for the dinner served under the arbor and on tables in the Center. President of the organization, George McGee, recognized special groups, including the Mulkey families, who were greatest in number with the Aven families following closely behind. Hubert Shields, the last teacher in the Midway School before consolidation with Celeste, recognized Mrs. Lola Jones Mallow of Lawton, Oklahoma, Mrs. Carter Fletcher Woolridge, Grand Prairie, and Ex-Postmaster Monroe Compton, former teachers in the earlier years of the school. Mrs. Mallow's term was 1913-1914 and Compton's terms of two years were in the early twenties. Mrs. Woolridge taught from 1929-1932. Mrs. Velma Holland of Commerce was the oldest visitor of the homecoming. She announced her birthday as "Tomorrow, September 5th, when I will be 87." Mrs. Holland is a sister of Mrs. Alyne Aven Ruff of Celeste. Coming from California were Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Tunstall of Visalia, and Navy Man BM3 Billy Ramsey, 5466278, c/o FPO San Francisco. Ramsey's parents, who were present, are Mr. and Mrs. Doyle Ramsey. Credit for the success of the homecoming arrangements go to the community people. Among those were the president, McGee; Jack Ruff, who sold tickets in town; Mrs. Gladys Linton, secretary who did the correspondence; Mrs. Ralph Evans and Mrs. Jack Ruff, who assisted in registering; and Glen Compton, present early for the arrangements and dinner tickets. The Hogeye Homecoming is held on the even numbered years. (September 9, 1966, The Celeste Courier)
