Photos and names sent April 20th by Pat Reed

Dennis Elementary School Class Photos

Most of the kids are identified, but the names of some escape me (Pat Reed). Those whose names are not known are listed as GIRL or BOY. Those whose name I am guessing at are shown with a following question mark. When there are rows, the kids are listed left to right.

Photo 1

Note to Our Classmates: The odd thing is that there are several people identified as members of this class and also identified as members of Miss Vitton's class (Photo 6 - scroll up one photo). This includes Darth Vaughn, Doug Nichols, Dave Tosh, Rick Stark, and definitely Joyce Moore is in both pictures. Can you help answer this mystery?

Gasman School - First Grade - about 1946

Brenda Mathis' First Grade at Gasman School

Quoting Brenda Mathis Sensenig: "Esther Flowers is front row second from the left. I am 2nd row second from the right. Eddie McCarty is front row 4th from the left, Bob Smith is just behind me; Tom Malleos is back row behind a tall blond girl (I think her name was Karen Kemper) next to Tom is Zona Nicholas. Dana Hallihan is second row 7th from the right. If you can enlarge it, others may see someone they know. Not certain that I have Karen Kemper right; she may be the other tall blond. I think the boy to the left of Eddie McCarty is Tom Gogerty (not sure I spelled his name correctly). I remember Eddie well, he chased me and kissed me every year until one of my brothers beat him up for doing that. By then, I think we were fifth grade and my little brother was only second grade. Poor Eddie never chased me again. Teachers name was Miss Yokeman (not certain of spelling) she married maybe the next year and became Mrs. Foster. I ran into to her at a meeting maybe 15 plus years ago. I knew who she was; before I could say anything, she looked at me and ask "are you the former Brenda Mathis?" What a memory!"

    Sharon Elaine Carr, Linda Lou Moore, Judith Jones, Keith Wilber.
