1960 Junior Girls Meal Time

Florine Paine is second on the left and Cherie Hendrix is closest on the right.

1960 HS Week

Don Ray is the teacher of this class.
On the day of the faculty-student softball game, many times we would have the state police deliver a telegram from a Big League ball club (like the Cardinals). The message would be on regulation Western Union form and in general sing the praises of the faculty players. Of course it would always urge the students to be good losers. In this picture, George Hentz is delivering the telegram.

The "dorm shopping" shot highlights the practice of many of the girls wearing each other's clothes. Perhaps someone will identify the girls.

I recognize Stella Kinney and Nadine Crane in the kitchen. That is Bob Kinney outside the window in the background. Who can name campers?

1960 High School Group Shot

This high school group shot was from an "unprintable" negative. It was Wilson Wiseman "size" but I don't know who shot it (Frank Bush didn't).

A Couple More from 1962

Charlie Greer in the pulpit. In the class for Christian Workers Week I see Bennett Roodhouse, Bob Kelly, Diamonds. Others?

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.
