Title: Thelma Lou's high school yearbook
Post by thecount on Jan 28^th, 2012 at 6:03pm

Cast high school yearbooks. To my surprise, I bought a 1940 high school yearbook at someone's estate sale in Kansas City and discovered that Betty Lynn was a freshman that year and her picture is in the book. Got to be yearbooks out there of other cast classmates.

A co-worker of mine went to high school where Andy taught, years after Andy Griffith had moved on. Griffith's photo still hangs in the hall with the other teachers' pictures of that year.

In Betty Lynn's senior yearbook, Southwest High School Class of 1943 in Kansas City, she is listed as "Major in Redskin Revels; member of courtesy committee, Glee Club, stage Crew and scalpers." Yearbook is at downtown Kansas City library genealogy department and her picture looks great. Less than five years later she was on Broadway.

I can't imagine what kind of club "scalpers" could be...

Maybe he was one of the ticket sellers for the play, selling door to door. Not necessarily of the nefarious type that re-sells tickets at a profit, but ticket seller none-the-less. Could have been a title devised by the club's adviser to give it a 'snazzier' name to draw students to help.
