In 1953, there was published a directory of everyone who had ever graduated from the Corinth High School from 1918 - 1953.   It's here.    I note that while alumni range from Ypsilanti, Michigan, to Florida, to Long Island, to San Francisco, as well as Covington, Newport, Cynthiana, and lots of other places, there is only one - 1 - graduate they didn't know the whereabouts of.  Hundreds of grads, and the community was tight enough that they knew how to contact, regardless of time or distance, every last one of the grads,  save one.

What the hell ever happened to America?
