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.

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.

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. |
