That was my 6th, 7th, & 8th grades. 2 rooms: 1-4 & 5-8; 72 total students our peak year. Made you like, and want to go to school. Amazing educationally.

Two of my classmates were picked for, and attended, service academies after graduation. It might have been three of us, but I washed out on the physical when my navy Reserve unit's CO nominated me to a special reserves program slot at Annapolis: eyes & asthma: medically discharged under protest, as a Seaman, E-3.
