1959 Graduation Program In A PDF File

Jimmy Musso had a copy of our 1959 graduation program, which he hung on the bulletin board at Hugh's place during our Friday evening festivities.  Many classmates did not know it was there.  Jan Lyons, after the reunion, took possession of it, at least temporarily.  She made it available to us to be scanned into a portable document file (PDF).

This document answers a question that was asked many times during the reunion.  How many classmates actually graduated with our class on Monday, June 8, 1959?  The answer is 370.  Did you remember that Albert R. Liggett was our third and last principal?  Did you remember that Cornelia Anne Bryant was valedictorian?  Did you remember that George Talvin Coward was salutatorian?  Cornelia and George, can you produce copies of your respective speeches for posting on the class blog?
