#TBT: The Schroon Laker Edition

The year was 1960 -- The number one song was Percy Faith’s Theme from a Summer Place,  it cost 4 cents for a first class stamp, 31 cents for a gallon of regular, 57 cents for a dozen eggs and 49 cents for a gallon of milk. And for 24 earnest students from Schroon Lake’s Central School, it was the beginning of their professional lives. Are you in this picture? Know someone who is?
