Things that happened in 1976
Bicentennial Year
It was our Country's 200th Birthday 1776 -1976
They made Bicentennial Quarters 1776 -1976
They printed the $2.00 Bill 1976 Series
1976 Olympics were held in Montreal, Canada
Montgomery hosted the Bicentennial County Fireman's
Parade, some of us were late getting to Graduation
1974 Time Capsule
22 years have passed by since we were in
tenth grade.
Remember when we buried our time capsules with our
Social Studies Teacher's, Mrs. Joan Toretta and Ms.
Elizabeth Aumueller? We thought it would be nice to
find it for our 20th Reunion. Quess what ? We can't
find it! Mrs. Toretta said the map was at the school,
but the school can't find the map. Valley Central gave
us permission to dig up the lawn around the flag pole.
We borrowed their metal detector, in hopes it would
help. Needless to say we have dug for Four days, 37
holes later, still no Time Capsule. Our last try will
be Aug. 21st. Because this book is being printed
before our last dig, you'll have to wait and see what
we did or did not find, or who came back to help.
Do any of you remember where we buried the Time
Capsule? Or what was in it? We are going to bury
another one? So bring something, by Sunday's picnic
and we'll dig it up for our 30th or 40th Reunion!
