Since our graduation in 1964 our 400+ classmates have collectively explored Indianapolis, traversed the great state of Indiana, toured the North American continent from coast to coast and in some cases traveled around the world. The photos which comprise the following visual quiz reflect, in a very small way, the many amazing places we've been able to see as a class.
Saint Augustine said, "The World Is a Book and Those Who Do Not Travel Read Only One Page". In high school most of us had read only one page. Since then, as a class, we've read the book.
Your challenge, identify the location of each photo. Some are obvious, others are not. May we all be reminded of the great times we've had exploring our amazing world. The person submitting the most correct answers will receive a $50 Starbucks gift card. The answers will be provided in early March when the winner is announced.
Be sure to click "Submit" at the end of the quiz to save your answers. Yes, you may return and complete or change your responses. Lastly, none of your answers will be seen by others. The entry deadline is February 29th.
Have a little fun remembering and Good Luck!
