Anacostia, Hart, Kramer, Sousa and More...

Site for sharing old school photographs from your school days in the 1950's and 1960's in Southeast Washington DC. There are links below to about 24 photo albums. There are links that I call Tabs above to some of those photo albums but also other interests. The site can be viewed superbly well on your smartphone also.

The school photos displayed below in a rotating gallery of pictures (call them teasers) are meant to show only the sample of all the pictures that are stored elsewhere (call it in the "cloud") which you advance to by clicking on an icon.

Clicking on the "click here" icons will advance you to the "cloud" where you can view all pictures up close and personal. Clicking a second time on any picture in the "cloud" will enlarge the picture. Below each picture there is a comment box where you can communicate a correction or update you find in the picture. I have set my "Flickr" preferences to receive notification of a comment. I encourage you to use this commenting feature to help me add more names into all the pictures.

Anacostia Yearbooks - Looking For A New Home:

Don't trash your unwanted Anacostia Totem Pole Yearbook, tell me and I will find it a brand new home where it will be wanted and cherished.

Recent website additions are:

Added a 1958 Hine Junior High School class picture thanks to Elaine Webster Reed (1961). She identified five (5) 1961 classmates of hers in the picture and indicated there may be more but she doesn't know who they are.
I have updated the memoriam page for Ms Elaine Kilborne to include additional recognition given her by the American Chemical Society and Anacostia Museum Archivist, Jennifer Morris. Go to the MORE.... tab seen above and select from the dropdown menu.
I want to thank Peggy Vereka Bailey for informing me that I had a missing photograph in my Anacostia Photo album. I have added her 1959 Anacostia class photo to the album and upon rechecking the whole album today I added a few others I discovered that were missing, like 1956 and 1957 Football Team photos.
Added a 1962 Kramer Junior High School class picture thanks to Arlene Bekman, who graduated from another high school but had kept her Kramer class picture all these many years to share with you. The picture is added to my SCHOOL PHOTOS album tab above. If there is a 1962 Kramer kid viewing this picture who has a less damaged photograph they can loan me, please send to me and we will see everyone's faces more clearly.
Added a second picture of the 1962 Anacostia Football Team thanks to Bill Marcopulos (AHS 1961). The picture is added to my Anacostia High School album.

Before Seattle had their Starbucks,
Washington DC had their Wilkins Coffee.
Talk about some old commercials,....Wilkins had them also. They are so politically incorrect in today's society but back in the 60's they were what helped Jim Henson's Muppet's and Kermit become popular. Before Kermit was green.
