No Juntos was printed for 1972 — or none survives; the copy the archive catalogues as 1972 is the 1971 book scanned again. The class is known two ways: the South Texas Archives keeps a graduation portrait of each of its 20 graduates in the school's photo file, shown here with the archive's watermark, and Juntos 1971 printed them a year earlier as the Median Form. Nothing else was printed: no hometowns, no activities, no quotes.

Hometowns as printed under each senior portrait. The “where are they now” layer arrives when alumni claim their profiles — until then, this is where everyone started.
