lbistory of '97. ,l,l-..-. G b ut to com lete our course at Mercersburg College, and feeling proud EIN a o p A of our record, we, the members of the Class of '97, thirty-two strong, greet you. ' .

In foot ball we ' l nas Buddy Knight Felsinger Thomas and Haley. On field day claim suc 1 me , , we won the majority of events, and in the inter-class relay race the '97 team easily won.
