Beth
Mazman sent this unidentified Nanty Glo school class, which was subsequently identified
by Jim Martin as part of the graduating class of 1959. The sign in the lap of
the girl seated on left says, Nanty Glo, Pa., Grade 7-2, which would
make the year of the photo 1953-54. The teacher, in the rear, Jim reported, is
Mrs. Carlisle, adding, she read A Stillness at Appomattox to us in,
I think, eighth grade. Boy, could she make a book come alive. Sam Campbell,
a member of the class, later identified the group as made up of the latter half
of the alphabet of the class roll. He gave these names, with dashes shown where
he can't put a name. First row: , Donna Rhoades, Louise Kormas, Delores
Wagner, Rita Thomas, Lucille Patarini, Phyllis Olstein, Vivian Molnar, ,
Judy Sowallo. Second row: Pat Simmers, Jerry Kreschko, Al Ponchione, Marion Rager,
Bill Hill, Bob Pearson, Larry Lindrose, Art Price, John Williamson, Mel Ray, Jim
Simmons. Third row: Tom Kuftic, , , John Winnie, Mrs. Carlisle, Mike
Wagner, , , Von Tucker, Sam Mazman. Sam adds: I believe these
are correct, but I stand to be corrected if someone knows better than I.
