Lisa Laviano:  

Life I went to Jr. High at the now non-existant Crescent Jr.Hi.(yay Crusaders!) and sadly experienced the separation from some of my friends as 1/2 the stus went to Savanna. I completed my Soph.& Jr. years at Western, spent my first semester Sr. year at Montclair HS, then finished up at Orange HS. But Western is "MY" high school.
