Senior Party 1960



This party at the Rex Plaza was for one of the seniors of the class of 1960. There are two young ladies from Plantersville pictured as well as one who married a fellow from Plantersville. I'll give you a few days to see how many you can identify before naming those present.

Note: Love those hats; I'm sure most of you recognized Sherry Sumner, first on the left seated at the table amd Barbara Rogers Mask, standing third from the left; I saw Barbara at the homecoming and she's changed very little since 1960, and the young lady seated fourth on the right is Carole Tackett Kelly.

Mrs. Stanley




I found a picture of a Mrs. Robert Stanley who taught music at Plantersville in the 50s. Does anyone know any more about her?

Mary Blanche Posey send the following: "In case no one else has written on the above subject: Mrs. Stanley, the former Miss Linda Bass, was a student at (and I assume a resident of) Plantersville in grades 1-8 (to graduate in '48), after which she transferred to Tupelo High School along with at least four of her classmates. She was in the class with Jack Price who might have more information. Her first year to teach music at Plantersville was 1949-50. Whether she taught longer should be revealed in later yearbooks."
