1959 BHS Teens - Part 1



-click to enlarge-

Some recently submitted photos of BHS kids on the north side of the school near the old gymnasium.

If you want to verify or guess identity, do so. There are some easy ones and some a bit more difficult.

Related photos will be posted later in the week with answers to these photo IDs.

Right on the guys anon. I realize we can't see enough of the hidden fellow for a positive ID, but from the hair I would say it was Bobby Wallis.

The photo of that old gymnasium holds a lot of memories for me. Remember when there was a cold weather game and we would get there very early in order to get near one of the 4 gas heaters in each corner. If we had to go after any drink or food, we might lose our warm seat.

One heater per corner, that is.

Ditto the memories. I'm sure many of you remember when that concession area up front was class rooms. My first day of school in Baldwyn was in that building.

I have very few pictures but I was so pleased to find these photos. That was a fun time of my life. In 12 years I attended 6 different schools but Baldwan did stand out as a very nice place to live. The teachers were great as well as friends.
