The Great Bend High School Hall of Fame induction ceremony for the Class of 2010 has been set for Feb. 18. Inductees include former GBHS vocal music director and pianist, Jenny Allford, and 1944 GBHS graduate, Glenn Opie. Opie may be best known for his years of service to the Argonne Rebels Drum and Bugle Corps.

Festivities will begin with a luncheon at the Highland Convention Center Heritage Room beginning at 11:45 a.m. The induction ceremony will take place that evening between the boys’ and girls’ varsity basketball games with Dodge City in the Great Bend High School gymnasium. A reception will follow the games in the Jack Kilby Commons. Everyone is encouraged to stay to visit with the inductees.
