Many who attended Sam Hughes went on to Mansfeld Junior High and then Tucson High School.

John Lyons found 2 photos from his days at Sam Hughes Elementary School. The first is a group of 4th and 5th graders together. The class was taught by Ms. Lewis he thinks. In the back row you can see #4 Nick Paulos, #5 John Lyons, #6 Jim Cohen. In the middle row, #3 one of the Gladden twins (not sure which one). Behind the photo you can see the folding doors. In those days, there were no air conditioners for the class rooms, not even evaporative coolers. On warm days those doors were folded back to open up the whole side of the room. On the opposite side, all of the windows were opened and there was some cross ventilation. This was especially nice in the Spring when the orange trees in the center courtyard were blooming. Today those sliding doors are gone, filled in and the rooms are air conditioned.

The second picture is of John's 1st grade class taught by Ms. Urquides (who became principal of Pueblo High School).  This will be a tough one.  Nick and the Gladden twins are recognizable.  John is in the top row, third from the left.  Also in the picture is Elbert Gump, the principal. Peggy Abbott says she is in the back row, 6th from the left.

These IDs sent in by Jim Cohen:

Top Row: Nick Paulos ? John Lyons ? ? Peggy Abbott, Anne Steinburg ? Jeanne Wheelin, Donald Lim

2nd Row: ? David Hearn, Jim Cohen, Paul Ostroy, ? ? ? Kim Bunting ? ? Gary Roll ? ? ?
