Re: graduated from HHS X 2 & attended 3 jr-sr.

She graduated once, thus attending a Jr. Sr. her Junior and Senior year which would be twice. Then after graduating, an error was found that she needed more hours to graduate. So she attended the Jr. Sr. for the 3rd time and graduated twice. Or your Aunt told you this and you believed it.

First Picture-holding hands?

This sure looks like John Swain and Sarah Brooks Joyner. John has his white London Fog over his shoulder. Believe it was monogramed in navy blue "Old English". Probably bought it from Bryson's or Long's or RW Goodman's Clothing.
