Ada school board 70 years ago

Posted by Fred Steiner on Monday, November 23, 2020

Here's the Ada school board during the 1950-51 school year.

Can a viewer help us out with the identifications? The year book didn't list members by row. Here's the information from the yearbook:

We assume standing from left:
S.D. Peper, Rev. Lee Moore, vice-president, Ear Huber, president, Dr. C.H. Freeman.

We assume seated from left:
C.C. Roberson, Charles Hubbell, Dr. Floyd Elliiott, Earl Detrick, clerk.

Or, is it the other way around?
