Group Photo
I think this must have been a student council picture, since all three grades are included and based on who is included in this picture.

[All numbers will be left to right as we view the picture]

Back Row:
#1 Dickie Wells, #2 Valerie (Deaton) Green, #3 Nola Linn, #4 James Pullen, Olivia Langdon. I think these were the officers.

Third Row (back):
#1
Craig Nosal, #2 Larry Trowell, #3 Denny Ferrell, #4 Phyllis McQueen [Denny and Phyllis would later marry), #5 Laura Sue Proctor, #6 (??), #7 Melanie Smith, #8 Gene Mitchell, #9 Harriet Gell, #10 Jewell Voyles, #11 (??) With the exception of Olivia Langdon, all of these are 8th graders. Olivia was one year behind.

Second Row:
#1 Stephanie Moore, #2 Olivia Valdez, ....?

1st Row (bottom):
# 2 Sharron Hallmark # 3- Linda Allison # 4 - Carol Jones # 5- Sharon Yager # 6- Rosemary Robinson # 7- Darlene Freeman # 8- Becky Thompson # 9- Linda Brockman # 11 Michelle Bonsera # 12 Kenny Lee # 13- Gary Corley # 14- Dennis Kruse
NOTES:
Michelle Bonsera (#11) Sure would like to know what happened to her...
That may be Patsy Linn sitting next to her (picture resolution is not great here.) Patsy was Nola Linn's little sister, she became a successful attorney.  She married Kenny Lee and the have retired within the last year and built a home on some land they owned in Tennessee.  After Nola passed away, Kenny & Patsy finished raising Nola's 2 children.  (note updated by Valerie Green - Dec. 4, 2012)

Basketball Team:
Left to Right
Charles Hilton(?), Billy Bridges (had a great football career, played for the Houston Oilers several years), Arthur Gonzalez, Mike Shaefer (Shafer?), Denny Ferrell, James Pullen. I think the coach is Ramp, but not sure.
Denny and James started 3 years as varsity players. In our senion year James was selected as Dallas County Player of the Year by the Morning News and Times Herald. He had a scholarship to UTA, but got married over the summer and never went to college. That happened more than once in our class.  dw

JT Parish is one of the coaches on the right.

The presence of Bill Montgomery and Tommy Bronaugh on this team indicate that it was a combined 7th and 8th grade team consisting of both Vivian Field and Carrollton Junior High. Both of them were from Carrollton, not Farmers Branch. Also, JT was never at Vivian Field.
