Madrid Christmas Display ~1939

I scanned this from an old Kodachrome slide. There is more detail in the bright areas that my cheap SVP scanner could not capture.

Kaune 4th Grade Class Photo 1952

Some of the kids in this photo went to Salazar when it opened the next year.
There is a copy of this (and all other) blog photos on PicasaWeb. I have put name tags on some of the faces there. Thanks to the FaceBook crowd for identifying them.

Santa Fe High School Class of 1960 Reunion

More people are starting to ask if there will be a 50th reunion next year.
Please use the comments section below to indicate your interest in attending or organizing a reunion. I will continue to try to find missing classmates, particularly those outside area code 505.

Santa Fe Telephone Prefix

About 50 years ago, Santa Fe started using the YUcca telephone prefixes. I remember YUcca3 and maybe YUcca2. Our number was YU3-7045. Were there others? And when did other prefixes, with or without mnemonic letters, come into use? Were all the party lines gone by this time?

View from Fort Marcy

The house in the foreground is 232 Hillside. This picture seems to have been taken before the previous ones as the house next door is just starting. For some much older photos, including a view from Fort Marcy, click here. For some modern photos, click here.

First Presbyterian Church Bell Choir

This photo seems to be from about 1961.
Top row: Barry Stephenson, Scott Garrison, Chris Kersting, Alan Stoker, Steve Hill.
Bottom row: ? , Judy Wherritt, Pat Malone, ? , Peggy Bronnenkant.

232 Hillside Back Porch

This picture was taken somewhat later than the first one. The back porch has been added, but the garage has apparently not been built yet. The picture appears to have been taken from about where I remember the chicken coop was. Can anyone identify the cars?

232 Hillside Ave.

John Stephenson was born in this house in 1914. The photo is from around that time. The house and the one next to it have been combined into yet another fauxdobe b&b.

Jim Webb, SFHS class of 1960
