That's Carl Jr. with Big Apple, they are related, cousins, I think. 17 IS Herb!

What hapened to Marjorie Purvis? I have never heard from her since 10th grade.

She married Milton Nanney's cousin Elvis Kitchens and they moved up north. I know he passed away but haven't heard about her. Clarene would probably know.

To 3:53
Carl didn't want to pass on "unlucky 13" to anyone else, so he left it out.

I may be wrong but don't believe Monte is in the group. She didn't come back to Baldwyn until she was in the 5th grade, when her dad got out of med school, and all these students are younger than that.

Thanks, all, good response. Most of you are correct in the identification.
According to the list on the back of the photo, which is undated, Monte Jean is correct.
Wallis is not in the photo. I am #15.
I kept waiting to send this until number 13 comment was used, but I guess it won't be, so I'll send this and it will be that number and maybe no bad luck will come of it....
