100 Years Ago

As our Class of 2012 makes preparations to graduate, we find a picture from the 1912 graduating class...a very small group of students indeed! A mere six rows of students out on the front lawn of Hollywood High School. They did have palm trees back then. The boys wore jackets and ties and the girls were formally dressed as well.

2012 HHS Geezer / Sheikster Road Trip Reunion~ from your friend, Ruben Bustamante, class of (72)
