Porter-Gaud School Class of 1969 – Looking Back at Our Past

You find the most unexpected treasures when you aren’t even looking.

My first indication, when I found The Polygon 1969 Porter-Guad School Yearbook was, why would anyone throw this away?  Had someone passed away?  Did they not want to think back on the past?  So many questions, ran through my mind.  In the end, I saw a 100 plus page look at Charleston’s history.

We imagine many of these faces still reside and have been contributing members of the community and for that we thank you.  As we thumbed through the pages, we were astonished at the level of education of the faculty, the reminders of youth and the trends of almost 50 years ago, that we look back upon now fondly.

Take a seat and let us walk you through a moment 47 year ago, when a ground of young adults had their whole lives to look forward to.  From the hair, to the sense of camaraderie, Porter-Gaud reminds us that school is a valued part of our lives.

Maybe you might see a familiar face or two along the way.

Look at the quality of that cover

A little wear over the years

Does the faculty room ever change?

We always remember the dedication – The one that inspired so many

Back then we put home addresses on the senior profiles

Turns out Mr. Clean is from Charleston

Let us never forget the jocks

And the cheerleaders that loved them

A fine lineup of faculty

Let us not forget the little tots.

Smile!! You are a candid moment

Religious Life was a part of the daily routine

Miss Polygon and Miss Runner Up – Rumor is: Miss Polygon resides on Sullivan’s Island

A censored pic slipped in.

Juniors are waiting in the wings.

Girls, take your pick

Some happy underclassman

This was the group to be seen with.

This is the way a football coach should look

A rugged wrestlers

Look at the extra-curricular activities. If he doesn’t manage a hedge fund now…

We had to include “Lumberjack” Jackson

Of course we have “Hebrew”

We hope you enjoyed this look back.  Now it is time to enter the time machine and return to present time.
