Class of 1959 in the Fifth Grade
This was the Class of 1959 as it appeared in the Fifth Grade. I thought it would be apropos since Betty Alice Reedy and Joe Jenkins were at our 2007 get together. This picture was owned by Ike Vaughn and a copy of it appeared in the North Lake Outpost in 2006. Starting on the left side of the picture in the First row is Larry Parks, Sonny Woods*, Evie Hall, Robert O'Neal. Minnie Smith, Kenneth Bauman*, Hughes Powers, Eddie Hoagland*, Standing across the back of the room from left to right Sam Rodante, Tommie Smith, Linda Coyle*, Burma Pulliam, Mrs. Kilker, (our fifth grade teacher), Royce Williams, Second Row starting at the front, Harrison Dempsey, Ike Vaughn, Betty Alice Reedy, Marilyn Shockley, Marilyn Bryant, Lois Keith, Kit Giles, Donna Wilt, Third Row starting at the front, Elaine Marteeny, Kay Flippo, Gail St. John, Wyman Clark, Sammy Thomas, Neal McDuffie, Kathy Welch, Joe Jenkins, Fourth Row starting at the front, Leon Strickland, Lamar Elton*, Susie Turner, Peggy Carpenter, Melvin Collins, John Smith, Jimmy Harris, Fifth Row starting at the front, Sherry Morrell, Anne Garnto, Jimmy Henderson, Huba Wass.
Those names in bold and underlined graduated in
1959 from Umatilla High School. Those names with an asterisk by them
are deceased. It is interesting at least to me, that four members of
this fifth grade class graduated in 1959 from Eustis High School, Kay Flippo,
Betty Alice Reedy, Tommie Smith, and Donna Wilt.
