High graduate Scott John
ston repainted the lettering
on one of the town’s four
“Class o f ‘91” benches.
Johnston, who was
the ASB president for the
c lass o f ' 91. now teaches el
ementary school in Salem,
the same school where Pat
Edmundson taught when
the Edmundsons lived in
the Salem area.
Johnston is in town
visiting family during fair
week, and was recruited as
what Edmundson called an
“involuntary volunteer” for
the painting project. John
ston didn’t seem to mind,
since the benches hold a
special place in his graduat
ing class’s history.
According to John
ston, the class worked to
raise money for a graduate
trip to Disneyland in 1991.
Thanks to an outpouring of
community support, the stu
dents raised around $7,000.
That left them with money
to spare, so they had the
four benches built as an ex
pression of gratitude for the
community’s generosity.
“They’re still here
20 years later,” said John
ston.
