Campus Life  II

Continued from Memories - Campus Life  I

Can you identify these girls? L-R, Carolyn Melton, Sue Milner, Class of 1955, Bessie Manus, Class of 1954 and______?the football player is Jack Flowers.

Was this one the skits they did during a halftime football show probably in football season 1952___? 

Came across this picture that you sent me quiet a while ago.  Did you ever get any response about who the others in the picture are?  I sure don't recognize any of the
 others.
 
Please let me know.  Would be great to know who the others were.

Can you identify these girls? L-R,  ____, Sue Milner, Class of 1955, Bessie Manus, Class of 1954 and __ ? Was this one the skits they did during a halftime football show probably in 1952? 
 
Yes, this would have been in 1953.  The first girl is Carolyn Melton of the 1953 class.  The last girl is quite familiar to me, but I cannot come up with her name.  Since there is a girl from 1953, 1954, and 1955, I assume the last girl is from 1956 -- MY class --, but I can't find her in the Grig.  The closest I can come is Mary Smith from the Class of 1958?

Sherry,
In the Campus Life ll, Carolyn Melton Woodard (class of 1953) is first on the left. I recognized Bess Maness Drake also, but do not know the others.
Nan Hunter Castle, Class of 1953

    That's definitely Carolyn Melton on the Left and I think Judy Gleason on the right.  I think the football player in the background is Jack Flowers.  Charlie Hennigan

The fourth girl looks like, strictly a guess, Rose Rabb Hardy; however, she may be too young for this group since she was a Freshman in 1954. Also, I do recall that she was quite shy. She married Gay Hardy, class of 1955. Hope someone can identify her.

Sherry, girl on rite may be Ann Machen. She moved to Minden, ?from Spring Hill? during her hi school years when her dad became associated with Parish School Board.

Pants 55.28 This definitely is Marshal Boyd Salmon.  I remember this, but just don't remember whether it was a band stunt or something else.  I tend to think it was some other occasion.  I'm sure those pants belonged to her brother, who was quite a big boy.
 
Submitted by Earlene Mendenhall Lyle, Class of 1956

Yes, that definitely looks like Marsha – but I have no idea what she’s doing, or why she’s dressed (or undressed!) the way she is.

I know it wasn’t any part of band though. The setting appears to be Hunter’s. Maybe it was a Halloween get-up she was wearing – with Clifton’s pants or something like that? I would think that Mr. Grambling’s labeling was just for his own purposes, to be able to sort through and find things. He took pictures of so many things that didn’t pertain to band in any way, and I’m thinking this may be one of those. Just happened to be a band member that he “captured.” Who knows! Hope LeVerne or Earlene will have better answers for you on this!

Miss Training Union - Photo by Robert Grambling taken around 1957/8

Baptist58  Miss Training Union has to be Carolyn Stamn (MHS grad about '60 or '61). She's the older sister of Leon'63 and Mary Margaret'66.  I can't remember the man's name, but he looks like I remember one of our ministers of education or music looking

Identified by Claire Turner Fussell, Class of 1965

That looks like David Evans with Carolyn Stamm, Miss Training Union, to me!

Morning Watch II  -  This photo was taken in the new 1954 building. The students continued to meet every morning to pray before class. If any of you have a memory of "Morning Watch" you would like to share e-mail us.  Wasn't this a wonderful way to start the day?

If you recognize the students - e-mail us and tell us who they are.

CL-17  Old Car 58 - This looks a lot like my cousin, Lottie Langheld Harty,  Class of 1960....Identified by younger brother, Roy Langheld and cousin LeVerne Langheld Kidd
Lottie played the Saxophone in the band.  I do not remember when, either in Lottie's  Jr or Sr year, the Alto Sax position opened up in the band.  The big Saxophone belonged to the school I suppose.  At any rate, they chose Lottie to play the Alto Sax.  The Alto Sax was big, heavy, and long and Lottie was short.  Also, it took a lot more lung power to play than the regular sax.  The Minden High Band was a marching band and they often marched for miles in the Louisiana heat and I remember some discussion on whether Lottie would be strong enough and have the endurance to march, carry, and play this instrument.  I don't know the details (contact Lottie for specifics) but they tried her out for the position.  She managed to do a great job with it and she played it until she graduated.  From my memory, females were not normally allowed or chosen to do this, so it was an honor for her to be chosen.   Lottie was a very good saxophone player and much to my disappointment, she sold her saxophone after graduation  and I doubt if she has picked up one since.

I know the boy on the left is Lorenz Funderburk (1959).   I'm not sure about the other two, but my guess is James Pitts and Lottie Langheld (1959).

CL-8  -MORE PRAYERS54 - Front Row L-R, Donald Gene Bradley, John Adcock and Graydon Kitchens; The guy in the far right background with the glasses is Daniel Wallace says Billy Kidd. Graydon thinks the tall boy in the back is Jackie Moreland.  The student leading the prayer is Judianne Braswell... and we both think this is in the old MHS auditorium. Looks as though they have curtains over the windows and you can clearly see part of the stage in the lower right of the picture.  Look behind the prayer leader... Seems I recall if you got to school earlier enough some would gather in the auditorium for prayer before class... I never seemed to get there early enough, even though the Lord knows I prayed myself through school many times... Today, Graydon is a retired Judge and lives in Minden, Louisiana. John married Dottie Day. He is deceased. Judianne lives in Longview, Texas. Jackie Moreland lives in Longview, Texas. Where is Daniel Wallace living? Does anyone ever hear from Donald Gene Bradley? Does anyone recognize any of the other students? I think that is Anita Harkness behind Jackie Moreland? Is it?

Morning Dottie,  Yes, this is in the old high school auditorium.  You are also right in identifying Jackie Moreland.  This was called "Morning Watch"  and it was Tuesday and Thursday mornings before school.

 Thought you might like to see this. I remember you leading us  in the new auditorium.

CL-2 -Cleve Taylor, Clifford Taylor, Bill Gardner and Lee Roy Taylor

Also, the picture of me, Lee Roy, Clifford, and Bill Gardner   It was taken at my Aunt's house (by Loretta Allen's mother)

Cleve has been married since 1961, with two really great daughters and two grand granddaughters.  He has been retired from the Public Health Service since 1994, but still live in Maryland to be near the granddaughters who live only 50 miles away in Leesburg, Va.  Many thanks to Cleve for sending 
this photo taken at Christmas 1952 of him, Clifford, Bill Gardner and Lee Roy.  He didn't have a picture of the four Taylor's together.
He told us how Spot got his name?  He was at a football practice right after Coach Doherty arrived.  Coach Doherty, referring to Clifford's freckles, said something to the effect of, "Taylor, you've got so many freckles you're just one big spot".  From that day forward, Clifford was "Spot". 

Soon you will be reading Tide Talks and other memories he has shared with us.  Thank you Cleve. We hope to hear from you again soon.

Well I would not give up and I found this pix on the MM.org under Campus Life at MHS
I see this is the Taylor brother, This does look more like  Bill Martin to me ..lk
