Manual
Arts High School |
| Has it really been almost 40 years since we graduated from Manual? It doesn't seem that long ago. But let us try to put in into perspective: |
| 1958 | 1997 | |
| A gallon of gas A loaf of bread A new Ford A three bedroom home Average income |
$.30 $.19 $2,045 $11.975 $5,087 |
$1.40 $.86 $18.545 $119,300 $34,000 |
| Throughout these years, we have gone through
many changes; emotionally, economically, mentally and most certainly, physically.
Some of us may have had the good fortune of succeeding in our endeavors, while others
of us may have struggled and fallen short of our goals. But undoubtedly, we have
grown spiritually and much wiser through our own individual life experiences. As we come upon our fortieth anniversary and the anticipation of the new millenium, let us plan to meet in 1998. We will celebrate our continued youth! We will celebrate life! We will remember those class mates who dashed through life at a faster pace. Mark your Calendars! Help pass the word to all of the classmates you're able to find between now and June 1998. The success of our class will depend upon all of us! Carol H. (Johnson) Epting Girl's Vice President, S.B.C.
