1972-1973 Headstart

The following five class photos were scanned from the 1972-73 yearbook which may have been the last yearbook Orebank put out. The second, fourth, and sixth grade photos were very dark, and scanned so poorly I didn't include them here.

My husband Keith helped me with the individual names of those in the higher grades. We went by memory and trying to match up faces to those on the class pages of individual photos which wasn't always easy. (Which girl in 7th grade had long, straight hair? ALL of them!) I used (???) in place of a name when we had no idea , a name followed by a question mark means we're not sure.

I would be very grateful to anyone who could help get rid of some question marks, or make corrections. You can do this by clicking on the COMMENT button at the end of the post.
