John Oshin's Photo's of Graduation Day - June 20, 1973!

John Oshin recently sent us some great photos of our Graduation Day June 20, 1973! Thanks so much John! Hey if you have photos of anything - of you when you were little, hanging out at a party, school stuff, sports - anything - please send them along - there have been 1,000's of visits to this blog recently - everyone is excited about this reunion! Remember - we are not using a reunion service company - so this is going to be good! We want to try and use these photos in memory book for everyone!

Nick Lagos is putting together a great list of music that we all listened to - songs, albums you name it! Hey he's guys so psyched about it even Diestel went to the basement and put a list together of his favorites! We will be adding an MP3 player to this blog that will rotate and include the music we all loved! Its all about the fun we had - please contact Nick Lagos at  Nick.Lagos@lamresearch.com to add your favorite music and he will notify me and we'll rotate the songs in.

Enjoy!!

Above, we're ready! Class of 1973 awaits their diplomas!

Above, the girls make their way to the podium to collect their diplomas from Principal William Leach. Notice the palms in the background!

Above, John Oshin and others receive their diplomas from Principal William Leach. The bus garage can be seen in the background - Nepola's mark was left! Everytime I think of the bus garage I'm reminded of the ill-fated Paramus rumble and Andy Rodman's unintentional painting of a Ridgewood police officer!

Above, the ceremony continues while the band looks bored!

Above, gathering to load the buses for the trip to "The Fountainhead" in New Rochelle NY for the first part of our long night of celebration! I don't think we could have celebrated this special night any better than we did! In the photo are Pete Appert, J. Todd Ellison (I think!), Ruth Reilly, John Oshin and Barbara McCutcheon.

Thanks again John - these are great!!
