The Shoreline High School class of 1961 made significant progress on their goal to make a place to honor their old high school, which was closed decades ago and turned into the Shoreline Conference Center.

They chose the interior courtyard by the Shoreline Room (formerly the gym) because their class had dedicated a fountain in the courtyard. The fountain has since disappeared but they hope to restore it.

They spent a long work day cleaning up the area around the tree and benches and temporarily placed a memorial plaque for deceased members of their class.

The permanent placement will happen sometime in April or May depending on everyone's schedule and the weather.
