1964 Timmonsville Grammar School 4th Grade Class

1964 - Margaret Crumpton, 4th grade - Timmonsville, SC

Sherry Hill Dail, daughter of Ray and Mildred Hill of Timmonsville, shared this photo of Margaret Crumpton's 1964 class at the Timmonsville Grammar School on Pinckney Street in Timmonsville.  The Timmonsville Facebook Group had a wonderful conversation about it. I found it so delightful that I am sharing it here. Please leave a comment below if you recognize anyone else in the photo. Please note the row order from left or right and desk order from front or back when identifying the person.
