As promised, here's the Graduation Issue of the Pacer, dated June 9, 1965.  Click HERE to peruse the entire paper.  The headline notes that commencement will be held at Aztec Bowl.  I wonder if any addled grandparents ended up at other Aztec Bowl on 30th Street.





The same week graduating Colts were making the trip to Aztec Bowl, Horace Mann 9th graders were getting their diplomas over at Crawford on the Athletic Field.  Wait a minute!  Wasn't the Athletic Field right next to Horace Mann?  Click HERE to peruse the 8-page program of graduates who would make up the Crawford Class of 1963.
