Looking Back: Finch School Kindergarten In 1948

Tue., May 2, 2000

School days. Miss Vermillion’s kindergarten class at Finch School lined up a class photo in 1948. At least 19 of these children stayed together and graduated with the first graduating class from Shadle Park High School in 1960. They will be celebrating their 40-year reunion in July 14 and 15. For reunion details, contact the class representatives, Cathy Stohs at 466-4780, Judi Campbell at 922-5151, or Carol Cooper at coopshome@yahoo.com.
