Photo of The Month – Nov 2012

Say Cheese

Picture contributor: Marilyn Moore Kerr & Anne Cargill

A small group on the festival grounds being photographed — Say Cheese

Cameras were as prevalent at Cliffside Day as hotdogs and folding lawn chairs. Nine members of Cliffside High’s class of 1959 bunched up for a group photo. Jan Laye Bell wields the camera, but there was something missing from the shot: Jan Laye Bell. Thankfully Jeff Melton, a professional photographer, stepped in and made it all complete, with this perfect picture.

A closer shot of the complete group.
