EVERYONE
DANCED
AT THE
DANCE OF THE
CENTURY

The All Alumni Dance held at the Ramada
Inn (formerly the Holiday Inn) on 72nd
and Grover Streets on 7-22-11 proved a
fun night for all attendees. The Grease
Band ensured a packed dance floor as they
played all the favorites of the crowd. Door
prizes were awarded and the television set
we were raffling was won by John Reica.
Jackie (Schultz) Casper-1961 chaired the
event with the help of her assistant, Julie
(Riha) Diehm-1966 and class representa-
tives from 1960, 1961, 1962, 1963, 1964,
1965, 1966, and 1968 served on the com-
mittee. It was great to see so many Packers
and their friends still rocking the hall with
their S.O. shuffle and high energy. We
found a 1941 classmate Ellen Jones Soren-
son who was all dolled up for the dance and
she is featured on this photo page. Karen
(Fahey) Wilson-1961 had the lucky number
for the split-the-pot raffle drawing! Con-
gratulations to all involved in this scholar-
ship fundraiser – a great evening! Enjoy
some photos of this fun event.

senior on the Omaha South boys varsity basketball team is
pictured 3-1-11, after a district game win against Millard
North. Congratulations to the boys basketball team for
their district victory! The ceremonial snipping of the net
brought an ovation South has not experienced since 1993.
The final score was 60-51. The last time South won a state
title was back in 1990. South has waited years for this
basketball night and the team made their school and com-

Tournament in Lincoln on 3-10 and unfortunately lost that
game.
