1954 - 2nd Graders, Dacoma, OK

"This photo was taken at my brother's birthday party, May 1954, at the end of his first-grade school year in Dacoma (Oklahoma).

Teacher for the class was Mrs. Avis McCray. Mrs. McCray died during Randy's second year in school, though, I am uncertain as to the date or circumstances of her death. Mrs. Katherine Leslie became the first and second grade teacher and was my teacher when I began school in 1955.

I have numbered the visible students in the photo and am including the ones that I know definitely.

1. Zella Byrd;
2. ??;
3. ??;
4. ___ Hiatt;
5. Dale Ross;
6. ??;
7. ??;
8. ??;
9. ??;
10. ??;
11. Bill Hickman;
12. Randy Murrow;
13. Newton Baker;
14. (almost completely hidden).

I believe that other known members of this class of students (grades 1 and 2, Dacoma Public School ) included: Marilyn Ratzlaff, Nancy Leeper (is she number 2 student in the photo?), Danny Rolfe, Alena Parson, Kerry Egner, Vicki Kassik, Stanley Zahorsky.

I would gladly share an "un-numbered" photo with anyone of the class who wants one, but I mainly am interested in learning "Who's Who in Grades One and Two in the Dacoma, Oklahoma Public School , May 1954."; -- Rod Murrow   |  View or Add Comments (2 Comments)   |   Receive updates ( subscribers)  |   Unsubscribe
