| DUBACH HIGH SCHOOL |
It has been said that a picture is worth a thousand
words. It is amazing how many memories a
photo can bring back to someone. To me
this picture is worth ten thousand memories and words.
This is a photo of my alma mater Dubach High School in
Dubach, Louisiana. This is the Southwest
corner of the school building looking at the entrance that I used for
approximately four years of my life. The
large building in the rear of the picture was the elementary school which was
connected to the high school building by a breezeway and the auditorium. The room immediately to the right of the
entrance was the principal’s office which you got to visit when you had
misbehaved. I made a few visits to this
office during my high school years. The
room to the left was where I took literature and English classes and the room
on the second floor was where typing was taught. In those days typing was a required subject
for high school graduation.
One thing that interests me about this picture is the lineup
of the now vintage cars in the parking area.
After studying these cars for some time here is my guess as to the make
and year of the cars. Starting from the
left: 1967 Chevy, 1957 Ford Ranchero,
1963 Ford, 1957 Chevy, ???? Ford and 1959 Chevy. My all-time favorite vehicle is the 1957
Chevy. My father owned a 1955 Chevy and
I loved it but the 1957 was a much better looking and “hotter” looking vehicle
in my opinion. My original estimate for
the time of this picture was 1961-62 but the 1967 Chevy shot a hole in that
guess. Now I would say that this picture
was taken 1967 or after.
There are many memories from Dubach Elementary and High
School that I will be writing about in the future. I am taking the Family History
Writing Challenge from The Armchair Genealogist Blog
and have committed to writing a story a day for the month of February to
get me back on my writing again. If you are interested in writing your family
history stories take a look at these two web sites.
The photo is the property of Donnie Barmore and is used by
his permission. Donnie attended Dubach
High School several years later than me.
His parents were the drivers of the school bus that I took to school for
all the years I attended Dubach School.
See you tomorrow.
