      Anne: The boy on the third row, 3rd ukn boy is Dennis Siewert. He lived on Fairbanks Ave next door to the Cox-Parker Funeral Home. Once I lived in the same neighborhood and Mr. Cox agreed to hire us two boys for the funeral home. We thought we would help out with the funeral services/arrangements, ride in the ambulance (we had no life saving crew in those days, the funeral homes did all the ambulance service) usher and do other such jobs that we witnessed the men at the funeral home doing. So on our first day of "funeral duty" we showed up with starched white sleeve shirts and bow ties. Mr. Cox welcomed us to our first day of duty and handed us two rakes in order to rake up all the live oak tree leaves around the large funeral home. We quit after one day!
      His Dad was an engineer at McCoy Air Force Base. His Dad took Dennis and me to see the B-47 bombers at the base one day when we were about nine years old. It was the first Air Force Base I had ever been on that had airplanes. Remember, Orlando Air Force Base had no airplanes on the base proper. Orlando AFB had some transport planes at the Herndon Airport (Orlando's municipal airport with a good restaurant and prop airplanes only). Little did I know that I would later go on to spend a career of thirty years in the USAF.
     Dennis graduated a year (1962) behind us because he became ill for a long time and lost allot of school work. If possible, we should include him in our class as we have done for some others who did not complete high school on time with us. Dennis lives in California and can be found at the "Classmates" web site.  Regards, Chip Schram

Charlie Cayll provided this picture - Carol Cubbedge, Dewey Ramsby and Bob Finfrock submitted the names, and Bob sent the picture to the webmaster to include in this website. Thanks, Bob, for sharing.

Richard Winslow remembers Tuck Wilson -- who moved from W.P. shortly thereafter. Tuck lived on Lake Maitland, on the road leading from Via Tuscany to the Isle of Capri. Maybe someone else can confirm. "I'm surprised and pleased I can remember his name," said Richard.

Mary Phillips recognized Margo Selby.

    In the first grade picture, the very first picture in the photo gallery, the little girl on the bottom row between Barbara Cayll and Carol Cubbedge is named Ellen Zimmerman. I remember walking to school with her every day because she lived in the house behind mine, and she was rather a big girl and promised my mother she'd take care of me. We lived on McIntyre Avenue at the time, the street that was straight down from the front door of the high school, so our route was McIntyre to right on Holt Avenue, past Rollins College, the left on Park Avenue, and two blocks to WPES.

Can you name the classmates?
