We found this Bomont High School Class of 1984 yearbook page in our archives, I wonder if it has anything to with an upcoming event... On an unrelated note, we are three days away from the premiere of Footloose, presented by A Shared Stage Productions. You all must be excited to see the musical because we have SOLD OUT all four shows! The cast and crew; made up of Vista Students and Members, and community volunteers, are so excited to show you all the results of their hard work and dedication. Thank you all so much for your continued support, we look forward to seeing everyone this weekend!
