Details Donna Cooper's Note: Vernon West graduated in 1958 so that would help with the dating of this photo.

These kids look like first or second graders, perhaps first and second graders.

I looked at some of the names of the kids who graduated with Vernon West in 1958 and noticed that from that there was Max Pendergraft, Nancy Goins, Tom Patterson, Myrna Gebhart all from the Seligman area, who could possibly be pictured in this photo.

In the class of 1957 there might have been Delores Ragland, Barbara O'Donell, Barbara Skelton, Frank Hawk and Johnny Sinclair in this group.

I believe that the teacher in the black dress could be Wanda Alexander.

Top or Fourth Row: 3rd child from left might be Tom Patterson.

Third Row from bottom:

Second Row from bottom:

Bottom Row or First Row: 2nd from left, might be Max Pendergraft, Vernon West is standing in front of the woman with the black dress, and is 7th child from the left.

The identity of Vernon West and photo - submitted by: Janet Marshall

Geneva Preston Rains, Face Book User of Barry County Places and Things Remembered, stated in March of 2013: Wanda Alexander taught 3rd & 4th grades about that time. It is her, but I do not recognize any of the children.
