MINDEN HIGH SCHOOL JR-SR PROMS

 THE PROM

   PHOTOGRAPHED BY: ROBERT GRAMBLING

   Submitted by Greg Grambling unless noted.

 

      

We are sending two photos taken long ago in the good old

days of Minden High School.In l960, Patricia Smith taught

 in the business  department of MHS while Mrs. Campbell

 was on leave for a year.

These pictures were taken at the Jr-Sr dance in l959-60.  Benny Irby and Patricia Smith were

chaperones.  (How about that mean rhumba!)

 
To the right of Benny is another former teacher, Laurine Strother Adcock and her escort.
 
The memories of my year at MHS remain close to my heart;  I am grateful that I was privileged

to teach some very fine students. Later, if we can muster enough courage, we will send an updated

version of that young couple

 in those pictures.  The rhumba will have to go, though!

Prom 25.26 Marilyn Haley m Class of 1956  1956 and Mickey Love,  Class of 1954

Good Morning...Yes, this is Marilyn Haley...and Mickey Love. Would you please ask if anyone knows her whereabouts....When the class of 56 had its reunion in 2006, we were unable to locate her. I last knew that she had married a Byrd and that she lived in Bossier.  Then I heard that her husband had passed away. She could be remarried now.  I remembered that she had a younger sister, Barbara, and we contacted her class, but they did not have Barbara's address, either.  I would very much like to correspond with her...or to see her.  She was in our wedding.

 These pictures were badly faded and yellowed, but perhaps you can tell who they are. Nevertheless, as promised, Bobby Herren and Mary Winford - with Billy Kidd (asleep?) behind them.  

 

From let to right, Scottie Evans, Judy Gleason, Bobby Wray Herren and Mary Winford

The other picture shows the two of them with my date, Scottie Evans, and me. We double-dated to the Junior-Senior Prom of 54. You have my permission to omit the one with yours truly, if you like. Bobby, Mary and Scottie sadly are no longer with us.
