Baldwyn High School Scenes

Kids loved volleyball. Usually there was a net for boys on one side of the building and another for the girls elsewhere. Mr. B. didn't like mixed playing, but it eventually happened little by little. West side of school shown.

A look at the east side facing Second Street: Remember how hot the rooms were after recess sports? I see the windows are open here. This is the school we knew in the 40s, 50s and 60s. It burned in 1991.

  1. Carl, thanks for the memories. In addition to myself I'm pretty sure I see Billy Wayne Owen, Larry Carpenter and possibly Gary Norman. Anyone else identifiable?

    1. Wish it was a better photo. Tried to sharpen it to no avail. I couldn't ID anyone. Thanks for your recognition. Wonder what the year is approximately?

  2. Carl, this is either the 58/59 year or the 59/60 year.

    1. That sounds about right. The photo I asked you about will be posted soon. It was a meeting for the ball team recruiting.

  5. Jim, looks like Billy Wayne Owen has a shirt similar to yours. Is that not Larry Carpenter on the far left with the white shirt?

    1. Yes Milton, it sure looks like Larry. I remember him putting his hands on his hips like the boy in the picture.
