SHAWVILLE July 10, 2019
While chatting at the dinner table around a month ago, local resident John Tracy reminded his wife Gail Proudfoot that they had been graduated from Shawville High School (SHS) for 60 years – quite a significant milestone.
As Proudfoot shuffled through old boxes in their basement, she landed upon a special piece of history.
Having both attended SHS, which is now Dr. S.E. McDowell Elementary, and graduated in 1959, the two were pleasantly surprised when they found an old picture of SHS’s 1959 graduating class covered in a layer of dust. Still married, sharing a home on Bristol Street with their old stomping grounds just a stone’s throw away, the sense of nostalgia has certainly amplified after discovering the photograph.
