Spirit of ’76 Scholarship Fund

Spirit of 76 Scholarship Fund Logo 2The year 1976 was highlighted by America's celebration of our country's Bicentennial. One of the more popular slogans that year was "spirit of '76", which was used to promote everything from KISS' US concert tour to a cheesy B-movie. It showed up on coins, stamps, belt buckles, commemorative plates, model railroad trains ... you name it. So to acknowledge our own Class' history and continue the tradition we have named our Class Scholarship the "Spirit of '76" Scholarship Fund.
