There were 13 in her class.<br /><br />Her Mom & Uncles and Aunts all graduated from Mooringsport High School during the oil boom. If memory serves, they all had about 40 graduates in their class (things dropped off up there after the 1930's).<br /><br />By the time Mom attended high school, all the boys at Mooringsport High were required to play football, so that there would be 11 on offense, and 11 on defense.<br /><br />True story.<br /><br />Mom married a BHS Bearkat boy, and spent most of her life in Bossier City. But, Mom and Dad finally retired up there on Caddo Lake at the old home place that my Great Grandmother & her young husband came to in 1916. <br /><br />I know north Caddo Parish well...good folks. REALLY good folks, and such a rich history.Andyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10945901944078164054noreply@blogger.com
