Fotos de los Alumnos de MHS que se Tranfieron o Graduaron de Otros Colegios en el 1964Senior Pictures of MHS 64 Alums Who Transferred and Graduated from Other Schools
After viewing the MHS 64 yearbook at Jill, Janice, and Pam's party during the reunion, I thought about how difficult it was for those who wound up transferring to new schools for our senior year. How special our MHS group and our circumstances as such a close group were becomes even more apparent when I meet people who arrived at MHS for only their senior year and who seem to have a stronger attachment to the school and the class than they have for schools where they spent their most of their high school days.
Leaving behind all those wonderful friends with whom we had become so close the last two or three years was a wrench in our young lives. As USAF brats, we were veterans of many moves, but moving during high school, somehow, was most difficult. I was one of the lucky ones. I returned to Mountain Home AFB to graduate with friends I had known since the fourth grade and with whom I started high school. Most of us were not so lucky and returned to stateside schools where they were complete strangers.
This page is an experiment to give those of us who do not appear in the senior year annual a chance to post senior pictures as sort of a delayed addendum to the annual. I'm open to ideas but one we might consider if we get enough input is to publish a real addendum to the 64 annual to distribute at the next reunion, or before if there is enough interest, for old friends to sign.
I'll start with a few pictures and subsequent schools people attended and hope that others who visit the site will send me their senior pictures, complete with captions from the yearbook. Help me out here.
