From a family with nine children, a lot of memorabilia gets collected. In the collection from my father received during the holidays this past year, I was able to locate several high school senior photos from Pierce and King Counties in Washington State. Some have first names, some have years or schools identified, some have nothing. I would love to identify these folks and get the pictures back to their rightful owners.
Update 13 Apr 2012: Many of these young folks have now been identified thanks to the searching of family archives by many of my own kin. I now have "The Cardinal", yearbook for Orting High School in Orting, Pierce County, Washington, from years 1933 - 1936. See photo captions for names.
