     Among the tallest in the 7th grade, it was normal to be in the rear for photos. My signature appears on the back of the photo.

     You were correct about my position in the picture; front row kneeling next to the teacher. I also remember going to Signal Hill for half of 6th grade. Then we went to a school a few miles closer to Winter Park (I can't remember the name) for the last part of the school year. We did the same thing for 7th grade, except that we went to the new Glenridge Junior High for the last part of the school year.
     Great pictures on the WPHS site.

Hi everyone,
     I have enjoyed hearing from you, and am very interested in your on-going input regarding the identities of the folks in this circa 1956 Signal Hill photograph. The original is in card form, with a place beside the picture for autographs. Here is a list of the "autographs" that are on the card, written as they were signed.
     Robin McKenzie, Nancy Ann Wrenn, Larry Hutchesen, Don Nuzum, Jean Williams, Everette Ledbetter, Calvin Seadeek, Fred Grinnell, Arthur E. H. MacMenomay, Glenn Mason, Wayne Moore, Steve Cooke, "Georgie" Fisher, Paula Nagel, Jackie Billingham, Charlene McKay, Linda
Schmidt.
     Here is my 2-bit opinions on who's who:
Front row: ?Bonnie?, ?Robin McKenzie (with hair blowing in her face), Linda Blair, Robert Fackler
Second row: u/k, George Fisher, Charlene McKay, Paula Nagel, Harold Van Meter
Third row: Linda Schmidt, Nancy Ann Wrenn, Jolene ?, Betty Jane Lucas
Forth row: ?Larry Hutchensen or Wayne Moore?, Arthur MacMenomay, Fred Grinnell, Steve Cook, ?Don Nusum?
Fifth row: Polly Gaulk (sp?), Claudia Davis, ?Carol McConnell?, u/k, ?Perky McKim?
Last row: Everett Ledbetter, Calvin Seadeek, ?Tommy Dresser?, Jackie Billingham, David Riddle, Glenn Mason.

2.2 George Fisher (Bon & Wayne)
2.3 Charlene McKay (Bon & Wayne)
2.4 Paula Nagel (Bon & Wayne)
2.6 Mrs. Stebbins (Bon & Wayne)
3.1 Linda Schmidt (Bon & Wayne)
3.2 Nancy Wren (Bon & Wayne)
3.3 Ann Joslyn (Bon & Wayne)

4.4 Steve Cooke (Bon)
5.1 Polly Gouck (Bon)
6.1 Everette Ledbetter (Wayne)
6.2 Calvin Seadeek (Wayne)
6.3 Wayne Moore (Bon & Wayne)
6.4 neither Jack Billingham nor Bob Cross (Wayne)
6.5 David Riddle (Bon & Wayne)
6.6 Robert Fackler (Bon; Wayne thinks not)
     
Apologies for any spelling errors. We are looking forward to seeing what others think. (We make no claim to infallibility.)
      Hope this helps!   Best to you!   Wayne

1/27/02 - Barbara Powelson and Mary Phillips have put their heads together and think the first classmate from the left in the 1st row is "Linda Clark" and the second one in is "Helen Vinson" -- and Barbara identified herself (I already figured it out) in the 5th row, far right.
(Bobby Cross says:)
David & I are in the back row 2nd & 3rd from right. (But Bobby was proven wrong by Jack Billingham -- who is standing on David's right !!)

    Gosh, what short memories we have. Can't even remember our classmates. :)
Could missing names be as follows?

      First row: u/k, Barbara Ferguson?, Linda Bair, Paul Sims
     Second row: far left, Melody Eddy? (I've written to her daughter to verify)
     Same row: 2nd from right, Heather Marwick?
     Last row: u/k, David Farr?, Steven High?, Jackie, David Riddle, Robert Fackler

    Heck, I can't even remember my 7th grade homeroom teacher, why would I recognize these innocent, young kids?
