The Bard - Spring 1972 Issue

The Bard was the literary magazine for CHS.  This is a real treasure if for no other reason than just to revisit who the contributors were.   See if you don't remember some of the individual works and how impressed you'll be with how talented some of our former classmates really were, even then.  Best viewed no larger than 100%.

Special thanks to Sharon for providing these.  Two group photos were taken at the reunion.   This first photo represents the first half of the alphabet, but some people mysteriously appear in both photos.  Can you tell who?  If you click on the bottom right hand corner of each photo after it opens, you should be able to view a larger version.

A number of people will be familiar in this photo and accompanying article from the Atom Tabloid, dated April 26, 1972.  See?  Old CHS JV basketball players don't die.... they just go on to beat up on lesser competition.....  Gotta love all the hair in this photo too...

Colonia Senior High School Commencement Program, June 21, 1972

The original document is actually an 11 x 17, folded to approximately 6 x 8.5", and was designed by Frank Gubernat, Fine Arts teacher at CHS.  Not easy to reproduce for the web, but the content is the important thing.
