1972-1973 and onward we went.  Looking back, we had so many opportunities to participate in extra activities.  Some we may have dropped after high school, some became lifelong passions.  Some were stepping stones to other opportunities.  Whatever they were, they filled our lives!  By this time, some of us had jobs and some had cars.  The Vietnam war was truly over.  A 1948 record was broken when Secretariat won the Triple Crown of horse racing.  American Graffiti was in the movie theatres.  Billie Jean King won the Battle of the Sexes on the tennis courts.  And at the 50 year reunion, the skit mentioned how much PLAID we wore - it appeared to be popular most of high school!
