 I am only listing the deceased for seniors class members only. They will be displayed * Name. If you know of anyone else, or I have made a mistake, let me know.

The albums in the fifties do not identify all of the students in the lower grades. Some of the students are listed by last name only and some by last name with first initial. I look through other year books to see if I can find and identify students with full names.
