Future Website Additions
The entire collection of yearbooks from 1952-1975 has been digitized. All of the Hall of Fame Programs and various copies of The Shield were also digitized as PDF files. They will be added to the website in the future. An example of the first ” The Shield, November 1950″ is available HERE
All of the Yearbooks are available for download now. The process is a little cumbersome until our website is updated. The link will take you to a shared Google drive. The process may say it’s too large to preview, so just download the PDF file to your computer. It is available HERE
