Some
photographic memorabilia
|
Here
are a few photos from long ago (send us more). New photos were added
in April, 2009.
First,
a photo of Hermosa Beach Girl Scouts, taken in 1955.
Most
of them are members of the Mira Costa Class of 1960.
From left:
Nancy Vening, Barbara Rycroft, Janet Farrand, Jan Hendrick, Lynda Schaffer,
Mary Alice Holmes, Kathie Kosche', Becky Brock, Kathleen Zemlock, Sue Thompson,
Sandra Brennan, Melinda Kutch, JoAnn Haworth, Roberta Lowe, Kathy Taylor,
Cherry Kline, Diane Denholm, Ruth Misues and Nancy Mickelson.
Here's another Girl
Scout photo, sans uniforms. This troop consisted of fourth graders
at Pacific School in Manhattan Beach in 1952. Front row (from left):
Georgia Gondira, Judy Burrows, Linda Sanson, Rocki Markert and Gretchen
Andersen. Back row (from left): Terry Neldon, ?, Linda Atherton,
Sharon Albert and Barbara Meyers. Can anyone fill in the missing
name?
Here's a Hermosa Beach
Brownie troop photo sent by Diane Denholm Amendola. It must
have been taken about 1951. Diane identifies the people as (bottom
row, left to right) Lynn Richardson, Pam Gage, Bonnie Roland, Sandra Brennan,
Diane Denholm, Diane Murray and (top, left to right) Cherry Kline, Melinda
Kutch, Sue Thompson, Margory Lewis, Becky Brock, Janet Ferrand and ???.
Diane also sent a photo
of girls at North School in Hermosa Beach, taken about the same time as
the Brownie photo above. Can anyone identify them?

Mike Clute came
up with this 8th grade photo. How many members of the MCHS Class
of 1960 can you recognize here?
Roger Anderson sent
us this 8th grade photo. How many members of the MCHS Class of 1960
can you recognize in this one? Do you recognize any Aviation High
alums here??? (Hint: one was later the student body president
at AHS.)

Friends
and pilots for 40+ years...
Here's Joe Dezso (left)
and Bill Glod in the cockpit of a then-new Boeing 707 in a 1959 photograph
taken in the American Airlines hangar at LAX. Both went on to long
careers in aviation: Joe is the primary designer of the Robinson
R-22 helicopter, and Bill retired as a 777 captain for American.
