Fort Jennings High School - Plume Yearbook (Fort Jennings, OH)

Text from Pages 1 - 120 of the 1976 volume:

Memories Memories are made of things that happen everyday moments as we live them things we do and say Little bits and pieces of laughter mixed with tears paragraphs and pages written through the years The carefree days of childhood the growing pains of youth a few illusions shattered in the endless search for truth The friendships we remember mistakes that we regret the ending of a love affair we never could forget Yes, memories are happenings each one a different kind each one a separate chapter _ that is printed on the mind PLUME Fort Jennings School Fort Jennings, Ohio VolumeXUl 1976 The 1975-1976 Plume Staff Advisor...................................
