Dana Hall School For Girls 10

Unlike most of the album pages I post, this one is too large to show the whole page for position.  The top photo takes up the entire width of the page, the next three, left to right, easily fit in a second row beneath the girls on parade photo.

So, one of the tings that I find interesting about a lot of these photos is the students at Dana Hall all look so mature.  These are high schoolers, but they all look much older.  To go back to the beginning of the collection and see more, click on Dana Hall School in labels at the bottom of thr post. 

Oklahoma Is OK

For someone who lives in Los Angeles and works in the film industry, albeit at a very low level, I have almost no pictures of celebrities.  So, from Hollywood via Oklahoma, "Maverick James Garner Cherokee Strip Parade Sept. 17, 1960." 

So, no need to write a lot about Garner.  I'm assuming most people know that he was a successful actor in both the movies and television.  He was in some of my favorite films, The Great Escape, Duel at Diablo, Victor Victoria, and one of my all time favorites, The Americanization of Emily.  Emily and Victor Victoria also stared another favorite, Julie Andrews.  Garner was born in Norman, Oklahoma, which explains why he was at the Cherokee Strip Parade at Enid. 

Courcelles

Thought I'd take a break for a few days from the German-American photo album, but still stay in Europe. Stamped on the back of this one, "STUDIO R. TASSIN E033 COURCELLES" I went on line and found 32 communities in France either named Courcelles or with Courcelles in the name, one in Quebec, and one in Belgium. Only the one in Belgium is large enough to sustain a trolley system. This photo came from the mystery grab bag of photos that I've already dipped into for several posts. (It looks like there are a number of images from Europe in the lot.) Click on the image to bring it up in a larger window to see the old Volkswagen and trolley car waiting for the parade to pass by.
