L. D. Bell High SchoolThe last 25 Years 1

Disclaimer: If your picture shows up on here and you think to yourself, “Um, where did THAT come from?” it’s probably because you didn’t send in any pictures of yourself and the maker of the slide show was forced to go hacking various sources to get enough pictures to make this worth watching. IJS (that’s teen-speak for “I’m Just Sayin’”)(Special thanks for Kathy Kitchens Lyda, Melinda Payne, Jennifer Dooley Waldron, Danny Clark and Kathy Baker Nobles for their help in supplying these pictures.)
