[ Janice Tidwell, not on graduation list, no pictures in all 3 annuals, not in ’53 or ’54 WW phone book; on 1994 and 1999 missing list and 2000 LHS Directory, unconfirmed. 9/23/06 Barbara Dunn Lewis believes this is sister of Charlotte Tidwell (’62) who graduated with Barbara’s sister, both daughters of Floyd Tidwell (Post Office employee, lived on 6th Street), and Janice may have been class of ’64 (possibly Monterey). I believe this is an error in 2000 LHS Directory and that she was not in our class; therefore, not included in numbers.]
