28 Looks Like We Made It After twelve long years of school, we finally made it! With all of that-behind us, we stepped into the outside world. For all of us it was a big step; one that marked the end of what seemed important and the beginning of what is important. The Class of 78 graduated on June 8, 1978 in the gym- nasium, which could accomo- date all of those who wished to come. Speakers included Valedictorians Jay Almarode, Jamie Layton, and Mark Sit- ter, and Salutatorians Lynne Forbes and Nancy Slack. Looks like we made it!!!
