Throwback Thursday: The Mysterious Band Meet

3/21/2019

This week I have a mystery. In the Eastland County Museum I found some negatives labeled "Band Meet." This appears to be an all-region band event that was held at Eastland High School, but I have no idea the year or any of the people in the photo. Does anybody recognize anything?

The young man playing the guitar is J.B. Tankersley. The snare drummer next to the bass drum is Mike Potts. The twirler, I'm pretty sure, is Carol McCleskey and the girl next to her, I think, is Helen Lilley. I believe the band director leading the band at the football field is Phil Hewitt. I'm guessing this would have been 1959-60 or 60-61. Mr. Hewitt came to Eastland in the fall of 1959, my Senior year, and I was unable to be in the band because I had conflicts in my schedule. It was either band or Senior English!!

On row 6, first pic, I think the third and fourth flute players from the left may be Susan Johnston and Kay Poe, respectively.

Regarding the picture in the third row from the bottom, showing a group of women in a kitchen:

I believe, but am not positive, that the lady facing
the camera was Mrs. Wingate, who cooked lunches
in the High School cafeteria for many years. This
would have been in the 1950's and probably for
several years on either side of the 50's.
