Please name names

I am beginning to convert the 1961 Monongah High Black Diamond yearbook, loaned to me by David Haines, Class of 1964, who lives in Richmond, Virginia, into an online album.

I scanned these group shots of all the 1961 senior boys and all the 1961 senior girls, but they are not identified.

If David or anyone else can identify them, email John Olesky at jo4wvu@neo.rr.com and I’ll add their names to the photos when I make the 1961 yearbook the 23^rd yearbook converted from print to online versions.

I received two emails so far. Can YOU name any of the others?
