HS Reunion - Part 3

 

The Photo Wall and Hallowed Halls...

Through some stroke of luck, all of our senior High School vintage yearbook photo collages have been preserved. We had been told some years back  that they were to be moved (likely destroyed). Our class put up an organized effort and they were saved. Our year is front-and-center as you enter through the student / bus entrance.  

I am sure all of the JR High kids now wonder who are all these old people.  We do too.

This must have been a huge effort, first collecting / organizing the photos and then, back before computers, physically pasting in all of the yearbook photos one by one. The spacing is perfect. All photos are alphabetical with each name in black ink calligraphy. I believe our Shop / Drafting teacher was instrumental in the effort.  Thank you Mr. Harrison for this lasting memory. 

Going back was the only way to see the photos. The collage was completed during the summer after our graduation and hung in the fall. So today, may have been the first time some saw it.   

Seeing photos of classmates no longer with us, is moving. For us returning class mates, what a treasure. 

That day it did not take much effort to close one's eyes and remember. Feel and hear the noise of this group between classes moving through the halls - 60 years ago.
