Fifty years after graduating from Antonian High School, the Class of 1968 unearthed a time capsule they'd hidden within a cornerstone of the original building.
"Fifty years ago, we all gathered outside and put in a few items of history from the beginning of school," said Leonard Rastrelli of the Class of ’68.
Alumni toured the new school building, getting a look at the old library that had been converted into a robotics classroom and the classrooms that had been upgraded, including the addition of air conditioning.
"Tremendous amount of changes," alumnus John Montfort said. "We converted from an all-boys school to a coed school, and that meant a lot of changes."
Alumni gathered around the cornerstone, watching and waiting to see what was inside. In the end, it was mostly names, like a class list and a roster for the football team. It all centered around the people who built the school's legacy from early on.
"It’s an emotional impact to me because I felt like I was part of that,” Montfort said. “I was glad to do that and I’m glad the school is doing as well as it is, 50 years later.”
