Some of our classmates collected clippings from our hometown newspaper, The Tri-Cities Daily, when they found something published about fellow classmates.  Now, yellowed and permanently creased, faded and, in some instances, torn, they offer a view into our past.

 

Thanks to all of you scrapbookers, especially Joann Marsh Gargis, Bette Anderson Pickin, Barbara Laughlin South, June Holmes Holland, Joyce Horton Johnson, and others, whose names I will add here when I post their contributions.
