Alb um As a yearbook becomes older, its album section becomes more interesting. People have always been amused to see how different someone looked when he was younger. Yet, for some reason, they still have been able to recognize him. Seeing those familiar faces has revived memories and has made that school year come alive once again. The senior class of 1968. 27
