I am drawing lots of blanks on photo at top of blog. Maybe honorees: Larry Johnson escorting Linda Johnson, Gene McCary escorting Edith Ann Gordon. This has to be class of 1956 function since all honorees except Linda were in that class. In stands: Mr and Mrs Sam Johnson (with glasses on 2nd row right of center), Billy Allen in 1st row right, Martha Fay Nichols 1st row left. Players: maybe Betty Smith, Rachel Christian, Peggy Pannel and Irene Cheatam. Rachel, Peggy and Irene would have been freshmen and their team went to State tourney when they were seniors. Irene was written up in area papers several years ago for still playing basketball at age 62. Anyone still have that article? She ended up in California and was very successful in the business world.

Oh yes, Coach Jobe on right hand of bench. Don't remember him coaching girls, as we called them back then, but there he is - dapper as always.

According to info on Classmates.com Audrey Irene Cheatham was in HS from 55-59. I feel sure you are right about that being her.

Definitely Alton Magers and great shot of him. Better photo maybe shows Sue Cleveland instead of Peggy Pannel between Rachel and Irene.
It looks like Monte Caldwell, honoree on left. I know she died in 57 not sure what year she graduated.
Anonymous 927 - Could be Monte Jean. She graduated in 1957 and she was a JR in high school when this photo was made - I feel sure since the others are 1956 graduated. This blog says she passed away on 10/21/57.
Well, well, well. I initially thought that Larry was escorting Linda, but now I think you may be correct about that being Monte Jean. She was killed in a car wreck on the way back to college one Sunday afternoon. She finished HS in 57.
Larry is escorting Linda, not Monte Jean. I was there.
