Herald Pictures & Article of Biscuit Eater
Submitted
by Tommy Pattison ('54), he writes, "My mother took me to
the parade for the movie but I don't really remember it. I
was 4 years old.
I don't recognize anyone in the picture except for Mrs.
Lackland."
Lillian Lackland ('52) writes:
I used to have the original picture, but don't know who has
it now (maybe my brother, Bill Lackland)Anyway, I do
remember a few of the names of folks in it. Some of
the names I remember are: (kneeling on right side of
coffee table) Lillian Lackland, and Billy Lee sitting
directly behind the table. Scattered throughout the
picture are Jo Marks, Pat Chandler Hannah, Perry Mobley,
Nancy Hodges Calloway, Cantey Pace (brother or JuJu and
Gladys
who died about 3rd or 4th grade, I think), Chan Flock,
Bernice__, and one of the Haley boys, I think.
The oldies are wonderful!!!!

Class of 1954
Toward the end of
her life, my Mother sorted the many photos and news
clippings, and had a large envelope for each of the five of
us with the ones she thought belonged to each. I just
received the (above) photo from a nephew of my oldest brother,
Holt. Mother obviously got a few mixed up.
I recognize Squirrel, Dooley, Bunky
and a couple of the others, but can't even figure out where I
am. Maybe someone will name the young faces.
