S-T High School Championship Photos Preserved for Posterity

Alumni visiting Skidmore-Tynan High School often ask "What happened to the photos that used to line the hallways?" I turns out they are not quite gone and certainly not forgotten.

The photos were salvaged from the old gymnasium and placed on display at Saturday's All-School Reunion at the Tynan Recreation Hall. It appears the photos may have been removed from the high school hallways by former administrators during routine painting & maintenance and were simply never replaced.

Whatever the reason for their disappearance, we are certainly happy the photos are being preserved in recognition of the accomplishments of Skidmore-Tynan alumni.

Special thanks to S-T ISD alumnus Richard Bryan of Kenedy who assisted in the duplicate photography of the photos.
