Revision as of 22:18, 29 June 2009

I've included the class song as a table column, but there are other ephemera like class mottos, class flowers, etc. that I didn't include. Does anyone have a problem with either the inclusion of the song or non-inclusion of other info? Also, the original list of valedictorians by User:Sethisodd had Javarius Powell for 2008, but I found a PNJ article profiling all the area valedictorians that had Kerstin Lashay Fleming. — admin • talk  16:04, 29 June 2009 (CDT)
