This is a picture taken by Qualls at the 7th grade banquet.
I am sitting on the left side of the table with my 'pirate eye
patch'. You may recall we had done skits of Texas history.
I will even get a bio written and send it. I have retired from
the Federal Prison Service and public school and live in Canton.
-J. B. CopelandThat's me in the Daniel Boone outfit on the right side of the
table sitting next to the teacher (far side).
-Dan Fitzgerald
On the banquet picture it was hard to tell everyone but I think the boy
with his head out in front on the left is Robert Cobb. Just
looks like his smile.
-Euleen Moore Thompson
In 7th grade we studied Texas history, Texas geography, and Texas
civics. These studies ended with a Texas History banquet. I went
as Santa Anna, just because I had my uncle's Marine Corps cape and
pants, which made a good general's costume.
- Vicky Collier
I remember wearing a white blouse with
ruffles and a maroon skirt, but haven't found a picture yet. But
from the looks of it, that might be me 2 up from Danny Fitzgerald on
the right side, but I wouldn't swear to it.
-Dale Hoover Browne
My room mate and I here at the asylum offer our guesses.
Darrel Raines at the far right table behind the bonnet, Cecil Watson,
the little feller near the front second table, Cynthia Duncan,large, at
the very front, either Bill McLeod or Glen Howell about the middle of
the second table in the middle. I think that it is Dale behind
Daniel Boone and I may be next to the girl in the bonnet, but I have no
memory or what happened yesterday, let alone back then.
-Don Allen
One more time I am going to put two cents worth. There is one
person that I might know . The second girl from the person with the big
hat is Judy Neslage I think. But I still don't remember any
banquet and now I am mad if I missed it and don't know why. Oh well
this fun. It is too hot to be outside so set here and see what I can do
next to bother people.
- Jesse Ring
I will vote for Robert Cobb with a 2-hand grip on the chair and
Bill McCloud with dark cowboy hat hanging on his back.
- Kenneth McWaters
I'm not sure. I may be the girl in the bonnet. That's what I wore
to the play and banquet. Also wore my grandmothers old lace up boots. I
think it might be me
-Nancy Reeves McDaniel
Luther, If you examine the large crowd, it seems like you and
Jesse Ring missed a good party! The person next (on right) of the big
sombrero is Travis Rasco. I guess that the person directly
behind, lined up with the center of the big sombrero is Larry Hendricks
(next to Raymond Brown). No one has put in aguess about the big
sombrero person. Suppose it is Bobby Dehls? Perhaps Jo Crinklaw
is next to Danny. Then Dale thinks she is beside Jo. Is thatJimmy
Edwards beside J.B. Copeland? Then Robert Cobb.
-Vicky Collier
I thought the guy in front in the sombrero looked like Dickie
Barrett
-Dale Hoover Browne
I have been trying to recall the 7th grade banquet, but cannot
remember it either.
-Shirley Sanders
I think the 7th grade banquet was held in the high school
cafeteria. I lived only a few blocks from the high school and
walked to it. We had our pagent in the auditorium.
-J. B. Copeland
By-the way, regarding the 7th grade banquet, I remember it and I
am in the picture that everyone has been discussing. I am the
girl in the foreground. I was in Mrs. Lankford's homeroom.
