Interesting: 1968: 254 1973: 124

130 left, transferred, moved or started new life during our 5-year college time from 1968-1973. Y'all know that once EVERYONE stepped in and joined our Class of 1973 are STILL our '73ers! No matter how long s/he was with us or no matter if s/he didn't graduate with us, s/he is STILL our '73er!
