Here's what was happening in the community, the school, and the world when this class was setting off on their future endeavors. Local Events Work was started on the new Ozark Presbyterian Church and was completed during the summer of 1968. The $100,000 church was constructed by Madison Construction Company of Ozark.

When the cornerstone was laid on October 31, 1901, workers placed items in a metal box for posterity. Unfortunately moisture had completely rusted the box away and most of the contents were damaged.

Patsy "Carl" Snell I was wondering if the CHS Class of '68 will have a 40th reunion this year--and if so,
when? I transferred from CHS in my Senior year and attended the 10- and 20-year reunions.
I have moved since then and would like to update my contact information with my former
classmates. Steve Dickens Name: Sharon Yarbrough CommentsAny chance of a 1968 class reunion? Would love to see everyone. Commentswe both graduated 1968. I was Patsy Taylor.
