30 years ago – May 29, 1987
Jonlee Anderle is the valedictorian of the 1987 Gilpin County RE-1 graduating class. Shane Shields is the class salutatorian. The two students lead their class through graduation exercises at the school on May 23. A total of 26 students graduated in the Class of 1987. The staff at the Weekly Register-Call regrets that the pictures of the entire graduating class did not turn out. We apologize to the class and their parents for not having any pictures.
