Sandy Bartlett Check with Lee Martinez

Boomerang Article:  (Apparently there was a High School column at one time.)  Thanks, Sandy for these. 

Mary Payne Crum sent me two pictures that she was given by Kristy Kay Smith Benson.  Kristy Kay attended Stanton School for Kindergarten as her Dad was attending UW.  Kristy Kay's grandmother was Mrs. Muir, principal of Stanton School.  They lived across the street from Stanton on 7th Street.  We've tried identifying who's in the picture but haven't had much luck.  For those of you who went to Stanton in the early years, please look the picture over and see if you are there or can identify any of the "unidentified."  I'm not sure if it's Kindergarten--may be 1st or 2nd grade.
