DEADLINE for submittal is Saturday, JUNE 14th!

Have something cool to share? All directions below! Please email Diane here: memorabilia@raidersremember.org to schedule an appointment.

We’re also looking for short stories/memories (even if just a couple sentences) of the decades. Feel free (anyone at all, don’t be afraid to share!) to send your stories to us at stories@raidersremember.org. We’re going to be compiling them to share.

We have a loan agreement for you if you’d like to share that special item with us for the big day. We are extremely protective of your belongings! Please fill it out, sign, and bring/mail with your item(s). Instructions are below.

Here is a list of what we are looking to acquire for the big memorabilia room & exhibit. Of course any new suggestions are welcome:

 

  • Prom gowns (and associated photo of the owner wearing the dress!), one from each decade.
  • Photos of proms held in the gymnasium (we believe the last one was in the early 60’s)
  • Prom & Semiformal invitations and favors
  • Athletic uniforms, preferably shirts with names
  • Band uniforms, hats, batons, etc.

  • Banners; championship, Musictown, etc.
  • Sports programs

  • Class of 1967 (we have 0 – ZERO – copies! Need at least 1, ideally 2 or 3!)

    I have the two iron gates that were part of the brick pillar entrance to the track that were I believe were built as the senior class gift the the year Coach Ray McDonald passed away.

    One gate was damaged and instead of fixing it the town removed them and sent them off to scrap.

    They were rescued.

    If interested contact me.
