High School Sweethearts 1951: Helen and Wally

 
My parents met in high school and were class sweethearts. I recently found their high school senior yearbooks. I enjoyed seeing a glimpse of that time in their lives. For those who knew my Dad in later years and wonder about his name, since his brothers were both named Joseph, he went by his middle name, Walter or Wally, until he moved to Connecticut. 

My Dad, I wonder who's holding the other end?

I'm not sure what "Class Day Parts" was, but he deserved acknowledgement.

One year later:

My parents married on June 7, 1952. They were married until death parted them on June 19, 2013. The high school love that was expressed in their yearbooks, lasted forever. I found love letters they wrote to each other reinforcing this lifelong love. 

Here is a video of my Dad explaining how he met my mother in high school.
