THE CLASS OF 1978 ------ THANK YOU!!!~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Mark Perry, representing the class of 1978's Annual Gaslight Golf Tournament, presented the alumni association with $658.00, the proceeds of this year's tournament.  The donation was made in honor of the class of 1978's very own Tim Meredith.  Due to Tim's involvement in the audio-visual department in high school, the class of 1978 asked it be used for the audio-visual department, so the committee resolved to use the donation in this field.

The greatest need was established as lighting for the new auditorium. 

We would appreciate any help with the selection of the new lighting from those who have knowledge or connections in this field.

This is not the first time that the class of 1978 has displayed its Charger Spirit! 

 Jeffersontown High School continues to be the recipient of 1978's generosity.

THANK YOU
