Photo submitted and individuals identified by Gwen (Amis) Harrell



I found this picture of Mike Stewart among a bunch of my pictures my mother had put in a box and saved for me. This is one of the packet of pictures you could buy when you had your senior picture taken. I know we traded these pictures around but I could not find any of my other classmates. Why the picture of Mike did not get lost along with the rest is a mystery! Well, Mike is known to be able to make it thru thick and thin and in this case his photograph certainly has.

Now use this as a motivator -- go dig in your stuff and see if you have any 'lost' photographs and send them to Lionel or Billy.

"On the coast of Mississippi
By the sunny sea...
Gulfport High School standing proudly
Here's a health to thee...
Gulfport High School, thou hast taught us
Honor, Duty, Right...
We will ever give allegiance
To the Blue and White..."
