1966 Fun

Carla Underwood is seated on the left. Greg Heavner in the white T-shirt. John Beck seated on the table and smiling. Bill Barton standing on far right. Robin Rewerts seated on table on the right. This looks like a team meeting just prior to the traditional afternoon baseball game! I think Greg is volunteering to single handedly win the game!

Chow line, 1966

?, Deb Fritz, Carla Underwood, Gwen Heavner, Jack Albee. Deb, you will want to edit. Is that your Grandmother Schmidt closest on the right?

Dinner, around 1965

Wasn't it nice to be in the front of the line and eat while the rest just waited in line with their stomaches growling? I am sure Bill Barton (cute guy standing in the center) would have loved to trade places with Greg Heavner (seated left)! Of course the girls were all glad to be seated with Greg, he was one of the Mr. Hotties of this era along with Bill and several others.
Girls at the table - far side with Greg are Carla Patton, Carolyn Stever, Margaret Iberg, near side from the left appears to be Janet Gum ?, Kathy Bodouris ? , Paula Bush and maybe Marilyn Carter. At the rear of the line with Bill is Elaine Seigel and could the girl in the checked dress in front of him be Connie Plog? Can anyone fill in the rest of the names or verify the iffy ones?

Jr. High 1964 (1 of 2 weeks)

This photo is courtesy of Gwen Heavner Tokatz ... Let's name them all if we can. (note the rows in this picture are less defined than in some .. try to be as specific about location as you can ... there appear to be 4 rows kneeling on the ground ... do the best you can ... reference some known ids if needed)

1:1 James Kelly, 1:2 Rebecca Kelly 1:4 Robert Kelly 1:5 Paula Harden 1:10&11 those twins from Herrick whose names are just out of reach 1:14 David Jackson 1:26 Larry Bolla 2:1 Cindy Huffman 2:2 Susan Hentz 2:3 Linda Hill 2:7 Debbie May 2:13 Janet Gum 2:14 Charlotte Redmon 2:15 Linda Thomas 2:16 Gwen Schmidt 2:17 Debbie Vogan 2:24 Evan Mac Lockwood. Now the rows get messy, but still kneeling at 3:4 is John Beck, at 3:9 Paula Bush, I think Carla Underwood is kneeling 3:13 directly above the "64" and at 3:17 Jane Whited, 3:19 Bill Barton, 3:20 Roger Lamar. In the row above that merges in and out, 4:6 Judy Grafford 4:10 is Deb Fritz, 4:14 Vickie Nowlin, 4:18 Scott Cain, 4:19 Carolyn Stever, and 4:20 Carla Patton. Debbie and Paula are "together" again in this photo! Yeah! 5:1 Bob Kelly 5:2 Shirley Kelly 5:3 Harriet Albee 5:4 Jack Albee. Row 5 splits into three with Micheal Jackson above, Cheryl Lamb in the center and Bruce Nowlin below. Then continuing after Cherl is John Heston, Gary Thornburg and over three is Greg Heavner. Linda Gehrig is behind Carolyn Stever and Jim Taylor is behind Greg in the very back. Gwen Heavner is above the space between the p in Camp and the J -- not quite all the way back.

Where is Debbie Vogan? Found her! (Thanks, Holly!)And I don't see Russell Boatman either.

Guess who lost?

And does anyone know why all they guys have their pants on wrong side out? Bill Barton and Greg Heavner look on while -- who is dousing Frank Bush with confetti? Is that Scott Cain?

1967 Life Recruit Week - picnic

Kevin Hayhurst, Mrs. Zumwalt, Janet Zumwalt, Gwen Heavner, Elaine Seigel, Connie Combes (Behtalto), ?, Mike Walch or Welch (Herrick).
Gwen says ...That is Janet Thornburg behind me! Was I in a coma?? Sleepwalking??
