The 1969 eighth graders make up a total of 207 students. Each one making his or her contribution on their way to becoming the Seniors of ’73. The new eighth graders were greeted with such experiences as jammed lockers, new rules, and most of all, more responsibility. In view of these things, we the Senior Class of 1969 feel that the eighth graders have done a fine job of making their adjustment and making this a better year for Kelly High.
