I just had this photo of my Dad’s graduating class framed after I was given a pile of old photographs. My father, Zim Lawhon ’40 *51, loved his alma mater. He was a fine example of the Class of 1940. I hope he and his classmates are enjoying a celestial reunion complete with beer jackets, orange and black attire, and a jazz band playing some wonderful tunes.
