Crawfordsville High School

The 1959 and the 1960 Crawfordsville High School Athenian yearbooks both included a record on which was recorded memories of the school year. Each side is about seven-minutes long and contains interviews, music, live announcements, and more. Take a step back in time and listen to these long-forgotten recordings! Sometimes the quality is a little poor -- but often a voice from the past will come through as if it were recorded just yesterday.
