 Blast from the Past: Help Us Uncover Clark School History
Do you recognize anyone in this photo? Send any information you have to Missy Corley. Help us identify the people in this photo and we will send you a Clark School decal for your car! Thank you to Catherine Johnson, BS '88, chemical engineering, who spotted herself in the top row (fourth from the right) in last month's photo. Catherine said the photo was taken at a 1982 summer program for young women interested in becoming engineers. This was Catherine's second response to one of our mystery photos, so she won a t-shirt for her reply.
