If you graduated in 1976 you most likely were not required to sign up for the Selective Service. There was a window for a short period at that time when it wasn't required - I think because the war in Vietnam was over so they didn't need people very badly.
I do believe that every young person should be required to do some kind of service that teaches discipline - I'll bet if they did they would not be out screaming in the streets like toddlers during school hours, because the adults who had served when they were young wouldn't allow them to waste school time doing it.
I graduated in 1976 right here in Silverton and I can remember very clearly standing at the window to the High school office filling out my selective service registration card and then dropping it off at the Post office.
