Fantastic Names: 1977 East Union High School (Manteca, California) Edition

This yearbook may be full of fantastic names, but some may be accidentally so. Judging by the numerous typos throughout the book, I'm guessing whoever was in charge of editing the yearbook took the year off. I assume "Patsy Crosssland" really only had 2 Ss in her last name, and that "Beckerdite" probably had a first name. I'm afraid we'll never know if "Himmy Sexton" was really a Jimmy and if "Heanette Preston" was actually a Jeanette. Which is to say some of the following names might only be fantastic because they're misspelled. Either way, I'm a fan.
