The capsule was placed in the vault at the school administration building. It was to be opened this year. Cooper was an eighth-grader at Linkhorne Junior High School and she still remembers predicting we would be a Communistic society. Cooper didn't keep a copy of the essay and she would love to see what she wrote.
Trouble is, no one can find the time capsule.
The vaults at the school administration building and at Linkhorne have been searched. Several class members remember it going downtown. As Garcia and others began working on their high school class' 20th reunion, they remembered the time capsule and wanted to open it at the reunion. Tweedy said the administration building has been through two major clean-outs since 1976 and it might have gotten tossed out. Bob Bailey, who was principal at Linkhorne at the time, said he has no clue what was in the time capsule or where it is.
