The 1963 Overton Rebel Yearbook



Updated: April 30th, 2000

(Go To Or Return To The "NEW" Overton Yearbook Site)

To view these pages, click on the CLICK! link at the left of each title, view the page, then either use your browser's 'back' button to return to the index, or use the Previous Page and Next Page capability on each page of the yearbook.

(Note: I have noticed that occasionally a picture will not display. This is a product of Fortune City, and will usually resolve itself by hitting the Refresh button, or coming back at another time or another day. I hope they fix it soon. If a page persists in not displaying, please contact me and I will try to fix it myself, or send you the page via email.)

If you know the name of the student you are looking for, the index for the yearbook is at the end of the list.

I hope you have enjoyed your trip down memory lane. If you have pictures from that time in Memphis or about the Overton 1963 school year which you would like to add to this collection, or if you know of similar interesting links which you would like to see listed below, please email me and I will try to honor your wishes.

I have no objection if you wish to save these pictures to your computer. Your browser normally saves them for you and you can retrieve them at will. You may also use File Save to save them as internet pages, again retrievable at will from your documents folder if you use Windows 98.

If you would like to add a commentary to any of the pages, please send it to me by email and I will include it at the bottom of the page of your choice. There is no limit to the number of commentaries which you can add nor is there any limit to a commentary's length.

Those pages with commentaries can be identified above by having an
asterisk * next to the CLICK! button.

(Don't forget to include which page your comment is intended for. :))

I have conceived the notion of adding to this site the capability for presenting auto-biographies with photos. Such material would be offered in a format similar to what is here now. It would not be difficult to do and if enough interest is expressed, it will be done.

If you are from another graduation year and you think that you might want to do a similar web site, I can provide you with the html source code for this one (no charge). It is simple and easy to maintain.

The easier way, of course, is to use View Source to see the source html code as you view a page, and save it to your computer.

Please note that I do not have any affiliation with the Fortune City enterprise other than to use their space for this web site.

Yours truly,
Hayes Larry Smith

(By the way, the name "Lavoisier" that I use here at this site is one of the main characters in a book I am working on. :) I borrowed it from the 18th Century French chemist Antoine Lavoisier, who chose to die rather than give the names of his anti-royalty friends. We should all have such conviction.

(Or, maybe not. :)))
