The earliest yearbook photo we have in our family is of my
paternal grandmother Anna Marie Sullivan, who attended the Montana State Normal
College (now University of Montana Western) and who graduated in 1914. This was
a school to train teachers and that is what she did after graduating until she
married in 1922. Her yearbook is full of other photos of her and I have written
about the activities and included the photos in previous blog posts, here
and here.
The second generation includes Anna’s four children. Lorene graduated from Chaffey Union High School in Ontario in 1940.
Virginia graduated from Napa High School in Napa in 1942
June graduated from Napa High School in 1944. I am not sure if this is her yearbook photo, but it is all I have.
Bill graduated from Mt. Diablo High School in Concord, California in 1950.
Lastly, the third generation: my senior photo from Las Lomas High School in Walnut Creek, California in 1972.
#52Ancestors-Week 21: Yearbook—Three Generations of Yearbook
Photos
This is my fifth year working on this year-long prompt, hosted by Amy Johnson Crow (https://www.amyjohnsoncrow.com/) at Generations Cafe. I write each week in one of my two blogs, either Mam-ma’s Southern Family or at My Trails into the Past. I have enjoyed writing about my children’s ancestors in new and exciting ways.
Great idea to show yearbook photos from multiple generations!
