Sincerely, Carol and Kay 2 Contents Foreword Dedication Faculty Freshmen Sophomores Juniors Seniors Junior High Organizations Athletics Advertisements dedication Star Spangled Banner Oh say can you see by the dawn's early light What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming! Whose broad stripes and bright stars thro' the perilous fight. O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming; And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof thro' the night that our flag was still there. Oh! Say does that star spangled banner yet wave, O’er the land of the free, and the home of the brave. 4 Vi Faculty SR. SAN JOSE 6 7 SR.
