49 Graduated and most went on to Carl Sandberg HS where our 49 disappeared into the 1,500 or so students at CSHA. I don't recall ever having a class with one of my old OPE grads the entire 4 years at CSHS. I only saw former grade school friends on the school bus and of course in Laguna Woods itself.
The night of the graduation ceremony my mother, step father and I had dinner at a local restaurant and for my graduation present I got a Timex watch. First watch I ever had.
Around 1956 or 1957, Orland Park, Ill.
