HARRINGTON SCHOOL 6th GRADE 1964-65

Occasionally one of those elementary school class photographs from the 1960s appears and this week in our Historical Notebook we are presenting one of them. This is courtesy of Douglas Appelt, formerly of Albion, now of Palo Alto, California. This is the 6th grade class of Miss Dorris Bailey at Harrington School, 1964-65 school year. Most of these students became part of the Albion High School Class of 1971 (my class). Some of course moved away beforehand. How many of them do you remember?

Left to right, front row: Miss Dorris Bailey, Eddie Judy, Helene Harrod, Jim Torrey, Dianne Reed, Rex Henry, Patricia Sloan, Kenneth Knorr, Karen Burkwalt.

Second row: Michael Bearman, Dan Raboken, Debbie Taylor, Vernon King, Steve Burstein.

Third row: Sheila Mills, Douglas Appelt, Joseph Domingo, Sarah Burgess, Mark Culbertson, Mark Gillespie, Nancy Brandt.

Top row: Hector Ortiz, Barbara Torrey, Jeff Zimmerman, Carol Ross, Tom Schwab, Susan Mills, Steve Riggs, Penelope Vickers, Rick Harris.

If you our readers happen to have similar class photos like this, please let me know as I'd be more than happy to feature them some time in this column. You can scan your photo jpeg at least 300 resolution or better and e-mail it to me at albionfp@hotmail.com, or I can borrow the photo and scan it myself. Please provide me with identifications in the format used here, marking down "unidentified" for anyone you cannot remember.
