Henry,
New update. Henry, you did good!! (Or is it well)? I think you are right about Billy Cope; Hoss would have been the
grade behind us and we were freshmen. After I named them, I got to thinking… Did we really have a “Wayne Brown”
and a “Johnnie Mack Brown”? If so were they related? You may be right on Seth Ridgeway, I’m not sure on that one.
Could be Ray Shumate, but I’m not sure. The one between Ronnie Stockman and Jerry Goodgame has been
stumped also. He looks familiar, but I can not pull a name out of my memory bank. I believe he came from Cross
Roads, but I’m not sure.
I think you mean 4th counting left to right on the first row. Yea I think that's me. I'll make an attempt at some of the
names These are updated after you I.D. your names; 8/24/06
1st. Row: Kay Kirby, Doyle McKinney, J.D. Cason, Don Henderson, Ronnie Stockman, Claburn Douglas, Jerry
Goodgame Buster Carter, Lynn “Rabbit” Sorrel, Henry Allen, Bo Johnson, James Leopard
2nd Row: Carl Loper?, Billy Cope, Doyle Scott, Lit Allen, Bobby Rogers, William Giles, Ben Garcia, Charles “Chili”
Andrews, Edwin Boyd, Don McClain, Big Allen, Arlie D. Gaston,
3rd Row: Hylas Cade, Linder Ray Cliver, James Newell, Wiley Allen, Maybe Seth Ridgeway, Eddie Nokes, Henry
Conditt, Carolyn Cade, Royce Shelton, Dickie Derden, Freddie Chambers, Stanley Johnson, Maybe Ray Shumate,
Glen White, Sonny Humphries,
Back Row: Johnnie Mack Brown, Bobby Gunnels, Robert Lee Brannon, Donald Hughes, Ray Dean Carden
Troy Rogers, Kenneth Carter, Donald Jordan, Kenneth Andrews, Bill Smith

Yep, you're the fourth from the right on the first row. Man this had to be the "whole" Ag class for the entire school.
I recognize a bunch; but, some I don't, especially, at just a quick glance. I'll study it some more as time permits. I
enjoy these things!!
Thanks/Henry

In 2006, Henry Allen (Mitch) was still working for Hallen Advance Sales in Dallas and he and I communicated on a
regular basis as I tried to assembly our reunion for the following summer of 2007. Without the help of Henry,
Eddie Nokes, Charlotte Evans, Kenneth Carter, and Nelda (June) Baggett Farmer our reunion could not have
been a success. Below you will find our Ag picture from 1954 and the communication that I had with Henry. We
went back and worth trying to decide who was in the picture. You all know that for Henry that was a real
dedication on his part because he had job duties + as you remember, Henry did not have the best eyesight, but
as always, Henry did the job with excellence. Thank you, Henry (Mitch)
