Griffin's Class, 1961

1961 High School Week Volleyball Game

In the volleyball picture, it could be Don Ray doing the "spike" and Dick Thayer defending. I think Frank Bush is the person behind Dick.

Jr. Girls, 1961

The soft ball game is probably Faculty/Student. I don't know the runner. It looks like Cherie Hendrix is "on deck." Is that Debbie catching?

Life Recruit Week, 1960

We tried to make Life Recruit Weeks different. For a couple of years teachers (and preachers) brought books for a library. Assignments were made and we even had a time slot for Study Hall. It didn't prove very successful, so it wasn't continued.

Life Recruit Week, 1960, Trip to Vandalia Penal Farm

We also tried to take a "trip" during Life Recruit week. In 1960 we went to the Vandalia Penal Farm. What is surprising about this picture is that on the left is George and Demsey Mathis. She must have been cooking that day and she and George just came along.

Dan Williams 1960

As soon as I saw this picture, Danny's laughter made me smile. Sandi Heston's comment was along the same line. So I thought everyone might enjoy this enlargement. Frank improved the resolution so we've posted this larger one for everyone.

In first corn-eating contest picture, the second boy, in dark shirt is Robbie Schreiber and the girl is Cindy Harden. Notice the "H" on her blouse? "Initial blouses" were all the rage then!

In the second picture, notice off to the left, a smiling Dan Williams ( I love that picture, it is the Dan we all remember! I can just hear his laugh!) and to his right, in dark blouse, is Nancy Spratt.

There is a boy way in the back, right, with a white hat and t-shirt on. I think that is Lew Williams.

And there is a darkhaired woman leaning out, looking down the table. I think that is Betty Schreiber, Robbie's mom.
