Friday's Back to School Quiz: Guess the Grad

 Redondo Union High School graduates have gone on to achieve remarkable things, as the recent death of former Alaska Senator Ted Stevens, RUHS class of '42, reminds. With the new school year about to begin, we thought we'd test your knowledge of their accomplishments. This series will run throughout the week.

This RUHS graduate swam at the Olympics and was a member of the Women Air Service Pilots (WASP) during World War II before developing the aeronautics program at Harvey Mudd College.

Can you name her and the year she graduated? 

The correct answer will  be posted tomorrow.

Yesterday's notable alum: Don Peterman, class of '49. He went on to become a cinematographer on many films, including "Men in Black," "Splash" and "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."
