Monticello, 1961

This class photo was my class in 1961 who, because of rural school closings, had been forced into town. Unfortunately, we were the left overs who didn't get in to a regular school and ended up under the Masonic Temple in Monticello. In and of itself it wasn't that bad of a deal, however, they used the first floor for the cafeteria for the High School and our digs were right under the kitchen. Believe me when I say when those things needed cleaning you don't want to be having class underneath them! It reaked!   Steve Hanken

In the attempt to restore this wonderful resource to Jones County IAGenWeb, there was one individual photo not available.
