Over 200 graduating seniors and over 300 freshmen. f Yes, and we put new doors in the main building - added rooms to the gymnasium and sidewalks to the campus. While the radios are hammering out 'gBig Johnf' the Space Needle and the Monorail remind us that John's day is literally past and a new age has come. - They are calling it Century 21. These are the visible records but underneath them we have grown another year mentally, morally, and spir- itually toward the fulfillment of our dreams f and our goals.
