Good morning;
Hope all is well with BEHS class of 67. I recently came across the attached page from the Standard Examiner regarding the graduation of the class of 67. The full-page clip says a lot about 1967 and I am sure each of my fellow graduates will see this page differently. I admittedly had a good chuckle as I fondly remembered class and life since.
I hope you enjoy and find it useful.
