Our new alumni member is William D. Lockett (now Brown Jr.) and attended ENMS in the early 50’s, and currently living in Colorado. Here are some comments he provided to me via email.

My parents got a divorce after spending time in French Moroco, building airports.  They took me out of school and I went to New York City. I do not have any items from the school, all was lost in storage in New York.

I attended around 51- 53. I was there the year the Lake filled up around Christms, and we had a big earthquake that moved all the buinks to the center of the room.

My memories are kind of vague at 80 years old. I remember names like Kozloffs brothers, that taught me how to play chess, their father had something to do with the Frontier in Vegas; Clark his father owned Something in Vegas; There was two brothers Bell from Vegas; The Bela Lugosi Jr, was there two grades above me. He had a trick swimming thing where he dove in and swam across the pool with one foot never going under water.  When I graduated into the senior part he was gone. I remember Conklin had a wooden paddle that he swung like a baseball bat, I earned my name on that paddle with three swats and a bruised butt.

I met this guy in a LA school later, I don’t remember his name, but they called him the Brain. He had an extremely high IQ, and we used to go to the theater in town, having high grades and not have to do study hall.  I will look for pictures around that age, and send them later.
