Yesterday, I had been trying to get a better handle on the boxes and boxes of old photographs that have been occupying space in the guest bedroom. Not actually sorting through the photos at all, that would take way too much time than I had, but rather organizing the boxes into manageable larger boxes, such as “pictures”, “slides”, “frames” that can eventually be tackled separately. However, inside one box that I’ve had for nearly 30 years is A LOT of rolls of negatives from when I had been editing the BEHS Torvian yearbook. These negatives are nearly all from the 1979-80 school year, but there are some rolls from 1979 at BCHS (which I had previously posted to Flickr and in the Photo Gallery) and another roll from a Ring Day ceremony. I don’t really recognize anyone in these Ring Day pictures, and I really do not know what year they were taken, so they are not too interesting to me. The rolls that have most meaning to me are from the class of 1979 Baccalaureate and Graduation ceremonies at St. Michael the Archangel on June 8, 1979. I had taken these pictures that night using Warren Stewart’s camera; I recall in the Fall of 1979 that Warren and others had stopped by the Torvian office to take copies of the prints, but I had taken possession of the negatives. Now, after nearly 30 years, here are a few of the pictures displayed as digital images from the negatives via my desktop scanner…
