At Pendleton Heights, the motto of the Class of 2019 was a quote from legendary basketball coach John Wooden: “Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.”

The Arabians’ class flower was the white iris, and the class colors were living coral and metallic silver.

Lapel’s class motto was “We’re not here for a long time, we’re here for a good time.”

The Bulldogs’ class flower was the white rose, and the class colors were teal and silver.

Both schools recognized the 50-year reunions of their respective classes of 1969.
