Compliments of Joe Stanik (23rd Co.), the June 7, 1978 edition of the Capital Gazette was added to our website in the June Week section. Not only does it include the news of our graduation, but at Joe’s urging the entire edition (all 33 pages) were uploaded to provide a time capsule to Annapolis in June 1978.
From our graduation, the Gazette has the following stories:
- On page 1 and continued on page 8, a story about Jimmy Carter being the first grad to return as President as well as a summary of his major Soviet foreign policy speech.
- On page 23, a story about our top three grads, Jonathan Will (8th Co.), Jim Butler (23rd Co.) and Steve Petri (10th Co.).
- Also on page 23, a story about the local grads:
