Tupelo High School
Class Of 1970
40th Reunion Photos
This page will be used for posting photos from the reunion. If you brought a camera and shot a few pictures, be sure to send them to John Nail at jpnail@comcast.net and I will get them posted to the website. I think we owe it to our fellow classmates who were not able to attend the reunion to provide them with photographic evidence that we did, in fact, have a reunion, and that it was well-attended by a bunch of young folks in old bodies.
