Girls at Searcy Jr High before the fire

Two girls Searcy Junior HIgh

My son was taking photography while he attended Searcy Junior High School.  I came across a whole bunch of pictures that he had snapped of kids on campus.  I think these are made at the school before it was destroyed by fire.  We just finished a blog about the beautiful old school which was used as both a Senior High and then a Junior High.  Lots of memories remain in the hearts of Searcy Arkansas folks.

It might be fun to see if you know who they are. I remember several and they were all nice and very sharp kids.

Robert, thanks for placing this picture properly.  It has been a long time and I remember my son's feeling so bad about the fire.  He took so many pictures of it and they look to be made about the same time as these.  Someone else told me that they were actually not at the campus but at UCA for a class for the year book.

Mary Dunn, surprise!!  I knew that was your Leah and I thought maybe you'd tune in and see her bright and early today.  That is a great picture of her.  She was always lovely.  So were all the other girls.  This blog is dedicated to you and Leah!!

Someone has to comment on the dress so I guess it will be me. A far cry from the old Searcy Hi days Anita, Ludean, Mary, et al. and I knew. I see a mix of dress, jeans, short shorts, leisure pants,and slacks. In our days, girls would only be seen in skirts and dresses and on some occasions jeans with rolled up cuffs.

Am I right, ladies?

Good seeing your Leah Mary.

I agree, Don.  But I messed up again.  These kids were not attending school;  they were off for some meeting at UCA.  They couldn't have worn short shorts to school but they could have worn mini-skirts which would be even shorter.  LOL.
