In the beginning......and beyond
By the time we got to high school, many kids from different grade schools had been brought together to make up the centennial graduating class of Abraham Lincoln High School in June of 1970. Of the 27 kids pictured to the left from Hoover School P.M. Kindergarten Class of 1958, how many went on to graduate as part of that "Centennial Class?" Better still, who are these people? Were we really that small?
