From Your Webmistress #2

Here's a favorite Halloween costume of mine - from the late '70s.   This picture was taken on a relaxing afternoon on our boat, with the Kings.  That's Dennie, blissfully unaware of imminent danger.  I'm the one on the right with the big teeth..... Jeri 

Thanks to the ever-helpful John Mauger (Cowboy #1) for sharing this priceless moment from 1950 with Signal Hill in the background.  Cowboy #2, center, is our very own Roger Wyatt.  It appears as though Roger is dressed for some serious rootin-tootin cowboy action. This here town may not be big enough fer the both of 'em.
 

Who are these clowns???

(Where are the clowns? ... There ought to be clowns...)

DON'T BOTHER ... THEY'RE HERE

This newspaper picture reveals the identity of the clowns.

 SCHOOL DAYS, SCHOOL DAYS...

Sara Erskine Schoenfelder submitted these pictures from June, 1956,
Mr. Hillard's class at Lowell Elementary School.

In this enactment of early American history (Captain John Smith and Pocahontas),
Larry Moore is about to chop off someone's head
and is being restrained by Carol Hartman.
From Left:  Sue Watts, Bucky Quayle, Larry Burke,
Larry Lieberman, _____, Mike Yancy, and Craig _____.

Thanks to Sue Williams Mortensen for filling in Bucky's last name.

 Far Right Row:  Carolyn Heimburger is second from last.
Front to Back, Middle Row:  Bucky Quayle, Carol Fujikawa, Larry Burke, Sara Erskine, Mike Yancy.
Front to Back, Far Left Row:  Jan Bond, Jimmy Bentley, Fred Lewis, Carol Hansted.

And thanks to Sue Williams Mortensen for supplying Fred Lewis's name

Many thanks to Roberta Wall for sharing this picture of her 1st grade class at Lowell Elementary.  She supplied the majority of the names, though some are not "fer-sure."  Thanks to other "room monitors" :-) who chimed in with added names and guesses, including  Barry Wood, Mike Hixson, Bob Chrisman, Bob Stahl, Judy Wilson Jones and Paul Kartinen.

Best guesses so far:  (See below for more debate)

Front, from left, unknown, unknown, Herb Solomon, Mike Hixson, Danny Alban, Camille Ratzlaff.

2nd row:  unk, unk, Penny Holmes,  David Blumberg is behind Herb, Paulette Gehrke holding the doll. unknown girl (braids)

3rd row:   Ricky Stowe (striped shirt and closed eyes,) Robby Williams, unk, Barry Wood 

4^th row back, from the left, blond boy (unknown), Lee Ann Kinsey, Karen Kline, Adrienne Hurley, Silvia Valera, Bonnie Gallup, Roger Peters, Unknown 

5th row:  Bob Stahl, Barbara Guard, Bobby Post, Alix Epley, unk, Sue Ann Roy, unk.

Last row:  Laurie Kinley, Roberta Wall, unk, Doug Wiley, Cam Kenady, Ken Miller.

(Can you help with more names? ..... Anyone?  Anyone?)

OK, here goes - Karen Kline Sedges is fairly sure that the little boy with folded arms at the far left is Ronnie? Black?  And the little girl after Alix is a Janette or Jeanette.

And then ... we picked Herb Solomon's brain, and came up with the following: The first boy in Row 3 is Ronnie Blackledge.  Also, I think the 'the girl who might be Janette' is Jeannette Alcorn. Not sure, though.... The boy identified as Bob Post is NOT (we just got confirmation of that from Bob himself.)  The guy after Roger Peters may be named Enos.  The girl next to Paulette with braids COULD be named Missy.  Others who may be in the picture are possibly Gary Heinz? Kris Buck?  Nancy Christensen?  CeCe Kimes?  John Parks?  I'm not sure Nancy, Kris, CeCe, and John had joined this class yet.  And I'm pretty sure that's not Ken Miller.
