The photos of Pensacola High School remind me of my mom, who went to PHS there by Lee Square. Her memory had deteriorated pretty badly. I was talking to her about PHS burning and she said she had gone by there "just two weeks ago" and it was still there. I told her that it had burned 30 years ago and she didn't believe me.

When I drove her by it, she wondered if I was at the right spot, then admitted that it was gone... and had been for a long time.

We would take her to a restaurant that she had been to dozens of times and she would look around and say that it was a nice place... like she had never been there before. When the waiters would greet her as "Mimi", she was flabbergasted. I just told her that she was famous "World Wide" and that everybody knew her.

Enjoyed the photo's.

My dad graduated from PHS in 1949.

No secret i graduated from PHS in 1969'

For all her warts i do love my hometown and alma mater

I got expelled in my senior year. Had a hell of a battle with the English teach. 10 years later my brother had the same teacher. She asked him if he was my brother. she said she could not teach him and had him transferred to another class. LOL I had to go to summer school and it was the best thing that ever happened. Had a GREAT teacher in summer school and she made encouraged me to continue my education. Ying and Yang.

LOL I was in the class of 1960

You were as goofy looking as I was, HG.

6th Grade. Dig that bowtie!

Wow eric they had color photos BACK
THEN?

Now aren't we just surrounded by handsome men, girls?

I don't know if our scanner works, but I'll see if I can scan my high school pic. I doubt it, though, since I'd have to rip out the page of the yearbook. Maybe I can find another. Oh, I know....that pic of me as head majorette. Someday I'll look like that again....or so I tell myself! If Stormy were still here, she could post a pic of herself as a cheerleader.

I need a new printer/scanner so badly....sigh....!

I just "found" this thread again and I was thinking the same thing PB...what a handsome group of young men!
