The other picture shows class 1B - 2A in 1945. I would have been in 1B from September of '45 until January of '46, so I assume that this picture was taken in the fall of '45 and shows our class and members of the class that graduated ahead of ours, in June 1952.

The picture of the (June) '53 class shows three kids with whom I played in the orchestra: Judy Renshaw who along with me played the trumpet, Ramon Fox, who played the piano, and Ruth Reinholt who played clarinet, as I recall.

As I mentioned before, I traveled to Jenks from Germantown. Others made the trip from Germantown, including sisters Barbara and Ginny Johnstone, who lived 3 doors away from my family on Duval Street. Unlike Barbara who writes that she was jealous of the kids who lived in the Hill and could walk to Jenks, I loved trains and trolleys and loved the ride. I even occasionally got to ride with my father who was a route 23 trolley motorman.

When time permits, I'd like to add some more memories to the site.
