Lakeview High School Graduation, 1979

Pictures taken at my grade 13 graduation by my mom on a dinky little camera. I came across them decades later, so I don't remember all the names, faces, or how they match up. The quality is so low I wouldn't recognise myself if I wasn't so small and the only guy in a suit (I didn't have a gown since I didn't know I was going until the night before).

If you know any names for these faces, or corrections, let me know.
