Hopkins Grammar School
The Class of 1965
Optimally Browsed with Microsoft Internet
Explorer!
Many boys attended HGS as members of the Class of 1965, but
for one reason or another did not, in the end, graduate with us
on that long ago June morning. Some died young. Should those who
remain read this, we wish them to know that they have not been
forgotten by us.
Any information about those on this list, or about any
oversights, would be most welcome by the webmaster at .
