How Many Were In Our Class?
After an analysis of the pictures in our yearbook, the senior directory, the graduation program and the article that appeared in the Watertown Daily Times after graduation, we have determined that there were 408 students in our senior class and 376 actually received their diplomas in June 1969.  HOWEVER ... there are still a number of unanswered questions.  For example, the obituaries of several people list them as 1969 graduates but they didn't appear in the program and/or the yearbook.  For those interested, please read the analysis

In addition, Larry Corbett contacted the staff at the Watertown Daily Times.  Included with information he has received is an article that was published in the July 10, 1969 edition that indicates that there were 395 people in our graduating class.  This is nineteen (19) more people than are noted in the graduation program.  We can't explain where these additional people came from but this information was compiled by the guidance office so we must conclude that it is somewhat official.
Also included with this article were a number of pictures that were in the Times archive.  You can access all of that information here.
