Gateway First Four Years and More - 1969 and onward

My older sister, Debbie Thomas, graduated from Gateway in 1969.

She was a good sister. Small cell kidney cancer got her in 2007. We all miss her.

You can read more about her at this site we made for her.

EARLY YEARS AT GATEWAY:

Mr Wilkinson was one of the best teachers I can ever remember

The art room was a haven and favorite place to escape to, Thanks to Cindy Smith.

Advantages of being the 1st graduating class from Gateway:

1. We were "upper classmen" in Freshman Year.
2. Could play Varsity sports in Freshman Year.
3. We had a big huge brand new school all to ourselves in the beginning.
4. Graduated in the illustrious year of "69.

Can't think of too much else , but maybe some others out there could add to this list.

5. We weren't confined to a bunch of traditions passed down from previous classes.
6. Got to be the big fishies in a very small and safe pond.
