The Bulldog, 1951
Texarkana Junior College

Graciously submitted by: Mr. William A. Sweeney, Sept. 2000.
Photos will open in a new tab. There were one photo and one name missing from this page. I replaced the missing photo with another of the same person but I haven't been able to find out who the missing sophmore is; on the 5th page of photos, there are 11 photos and only 10 names. Miss Nelson's Esquire Girl photo was missing.
