Class Picture from 1952!

Thanks to Jerry Elick, we have a picture of our class from 1952.  Which would be 3rd or 4th grade!  We don't have the names for these - can you help?

(Click on the picture and then click on it again to see the large version.)

Junior Class Pictures

Another quiz for our class.  Can you put names with these faces?  Thanks again to Evan we have some pictures from when we were juniors.

And to prove we didn't spend all our time posing for pictures - a couple of candid pictures from class sessions.

Past Reunion Pictures - See Our Reunions Page

We are starting to assemble pictures and recollections from earlier get-togethers.  Currently you can see the 25th and 30th anniversary reunions on our Reunions page.  (That's also the 25th picture here on the left.)

And please let us know if you have some we can add.  You can use the comment form below to contact us.  .

Note:  In the comments form where it asks for your profile, you can choose anonymous and include your name in the comment.  You can also choose Name/URL as your profile and just fill in the Name part.

Past Class Pictures - 6th Grade and Senior Class Pictures

Thanks to Evan, we have copies of some of our class pictures!  First, some of us in 6th grade (1954-1955 if my math is correct) along with some members of that years 5th grade class.  This was when we had Miss Heiberger as our teacher.  Can you identify everyone?

And this is the senior class picture.  No points for identifying people in this one.  Although the labels were blurry by the time I blew them up enough to read!

For both of these pictures you can click on the picture to see a larger version by itself and then click again to zoom in.

Does anyone have additional class pictures or reunion pictures they could share?   We would like to include them.  Thanks for your help.
