I included Eric’s and Dylan’s photos to highlight family resemblances. I wasn’t able to find Wayne and Kathy’s freshman photos, so these are from their sophomore-senior years.
Wayne’s photos are from 1964–1966, and Kathy’s are from 1965–1967.
Classmates described Wayne as a shy, intelligent, and studious blond boy with freckles, quiet and with a small circle of friends. He was seen as neither a leader nor a troublemaker.
"We all got along," said Grace VanSteenwick McCain, class of 66.
Jim Hatfield said. "He was smart and quiet."
Classmate Dean Dodrill said, "I think he was one of the studious ones, got good grades."
As a sophomore, Wayne participated in boys glee, intramurals and volleyball. His junior year, he sang in the concert choir and played intramurals. The yearbook does not show any activities his senior year.
Wayne mentioned his sons three times in a 20-year high school reunion form describing his life. Under goals, he listed "Raise two good sons."
Asked to complete the phrase "I like to stay home to..." Wayne wrote: "play with my kids and their mother."
For highlight of my life, he wrote, "Birth of my two sons."
By that reunion, the quiet high school student obviously had become more extroverted. Under best habits, he wrote, "too numerous to mention."
As for what I like, Wayne listed "eating, drinking, flying and loving, not necessarily in that order."
Asked to list where he had traveled, Wayne simply said "All over."
The low point of his life had been the death of his father. The highlights, he said, involved his sons, Eric, then 5, and Kevin, 8.
According to her yearbook, Kathy participated in the Mogul-Meisters ski club and worked as a hostess at PTA fashion shows. One classmate said she wasn’t one of the popular kids, but she wasn’t a nerd either.
This is Kathy’s twin sister, Karen:
I wasn’t able to find any photos of Sue. I also couldn’t find Tom Klebold’s sophomore photo, so these include the freshman, junior, and senior year photos of Tom and Dylan.
Tom’s photos are from 1962–1965.
Tom’s senior yearbook describes him as a skilled woodworker and a fan of go-kart racing. It also lists him as a member of the track team. Tom also seems to have been in the chess club.
