Here's what was happening in the community, the school, and the world when this class was setting off on their future endeavors.

In the so-called "Saturday Night Massacre," special Watergate prosecutor Archibald Cox was dismissed and Attorney General Elliot L. Richardson and Deputy Attorney General William B. Ruckelshaus resigned.

Vice President Spiro T. Agnew branded as "damned lies" reports he had taken kickbacks from government contracts in Maryland, and vowed not to resign - which he eventually did.

President Nixon's personal secretary, Rose Mary Woods, told a federal court that she had accidentally erased 18 1/2 minutes of the Watergate tapes.

Gerald R. Ford was sworn in as Vice-President after the U.S. Senate confirmed his appointment by a vote of 92-3. Ford replaced Spiro T. Agnew, who resigned his post.

Hi everyone especially Pat. Just wanted to thank you so much for a great reunion. It was so much fun. It was so great to see everyone. Wish I could have talked longer to everyone. The band was great. Please feel free to email me anytime. Good to see you Joseph and Susan and Brenda, Char of course, Karen, Steve and Barbara, Dorothy, Bill, and so many others. I was so glad people recognized me. I hope we can see each other now and then before 10 more years. The memorial was so nice. Especially what David said. I know Bill was with you. Thank you, to the committee for a great job. Wish more friends could have been there. They really missed a lot. Thanks again, Pat for your dedication to our web site and I am still trying to click in to the pages you sent. My son went off to college and i can't do a lot of things yet on this thing. Take care everyone and let's keep Ozark in our hearts forever and our prayers.

I look forward to attending the 30th reunion and hopefully getting the trophy again for "the girl most changed since high school"...which I still have prominently displayed. My husband and I have spent much of the past 20 years overseas at our American Embassies in Mexico City, Mexico, Canberra, Australia, Kingston, Jamaica and Budapest, Hungary. We are in the D.C. area and plan to be here for a while...its great to be back in the states. We enjoyed our tours, however, there is no place like home and we love being back. I would enjoy hearing from you and can be contacted at the above email address. I wish you all good health and happiness...elaine

Hello friends. I just got back from spending two weeks in Ozark. Also saw my son in Lawrenceville Ga. Went to my friend's son's wedding. Charlene Evans Jones. Her son is Jason Jones. Her other son is Reid Jones. Wish I could have seen more people. I drove my myself. 900 miles and more. Hope to hear about a 30 year reunion next year. Love this web site. Thank you Pat. It was fun being home and looking up friends in the annual. Was wandering if anyone was interested in getting some of the old Choral Club members to sing some old songs at the reunion. Also is anyone interested on bringing old pictures of our childhood and teen years? Bring them to reunion. Take care and hope to hear from old friends.

Do you know me?

In 1973 I had a major "crush" on a girl named Debbie. The biggest impression I made on her was when I stepped on her foot in class. You could hear her yell a mile away.

After living and attending school in Ozark for nine years the family moved us to Enterprise. In 1974 (my senior year) I attended Enterprise High School. Ozark beat Enterprise that year.

In 1973 during a PE basketball game I was given the "cake" job of guarding Steve Clouse. Thanks Coach.

Remember Jack Sexton saying goodbye in french class? "A toot a loo". Whatever happened to him? That guy made me laugh more than anyone else I knew back then.

Also, where are they now?
