This is a list of graduates from the Commencement Exercises for Thomas High School for May 28, 1948. Faculty included: Virginia Boyer, Mary Colabrese, Paige DiBacco, Lucille Dumire, Marie Fansler, Ira Harris, Harold Parsons, Emil Suder, Principal Stelman Harper, Librarian Sallie Watson. I had a huge response to the photo from last week of Stoney and Wilma Lee Leary Cooper. One lady, who is in her seventies, called to say that she was named after Wilma Lee. She has a lot of Wilma Lee memorabilia. Another lady called to say she remembered, when she was 10 years old, seeing the Cooper’s perform at place outside of Elkins called Radio Ranch. Her parents went every Saturday afternoon to enjoy the various performers. Ideas, comments, suggestions or something to share, contact Tim Turner (304) 478-3389.
