Transcript of Alumni Weekend 2013

I want to be the first to welcome you back to
your high school home. High school years
are a uniquely intense and poignant time of
life. Those memories, for good or bad, stay
vivid decades later. I’m praying that your
time spent with old friends back in this place
will revive those memories of goodness, fun,
and friendship that still have the power to
enrich our lives. I’m also praying that if your
memories are painful, you will find healing
in your return. Many things have changed
over the years but the mountains that so
imprinted themselves on us still stand guard.
The frog still crouches nearby. Mount Ellis
still surveys the campus and the ski slopes of
the Bridger Mountains still beckon.
This weekend’s program is designed to give
you time with old friends, time for worship,
and time to learn about the ways Mt. Ellis is
still making a difference in the lives of kids
today. We are leaving the doors unlocked
around campus so you can wander to the
places your memories hold strongest. I hope
you’ll take the time to introduce yourself
to students and faculty. We love hearing
stories from the “good old days.” If there is
anything we can do to make your weekend
more enjoyable, please talk to Kevin Emmer-
son or myself. Have a great time.
MEA PRINCIPAL Darren Wilkins ‘89
