Gladys Priestley - 1953 VHS Yearbook

We were trying to identify the prize winning swimmer shown in the photo taken at the Natatorium and a member suggested taht it might be Gladys Priestly who remembered her as a possible candidate. I was at the SHGV today aand looked in the 1953 VHS Yearbook and this is what I found. It is difficult to say that it is the same person as the gal in the swimsuit is at least 15 if not sixteen years old compared to the yearbook wich gives her age as been 14 and we know how much teens change at that age. What do you think. I have other photos to submit on the subject wich will follow.

Maybe the page fell out of this 1953 yearbook,Since G.Priestly's name appears in it: Might be a good place to start,perhaps it was ripped out,when this topic was posted . I hope the original yearbook can be located easily ,so as to return the page inquestion back to that issue: Good Luck with that Guy

Les,
I didn't remember when I had posted the above yearbook and I thought this new page was from another year wich it probably is. Perhaps Gladys can tell us so that I can put it back to it's proper place. Concerning the message concerning the site that will be cancelled that has several year books posted on their site, Perhaps you can download for use by our site, if this is legal. Just a thought.

I would guess it would have to be around the early 50's up to '53 . Also the sites closing are they the Geocities sites mentioned in our notes section? If so I believe Maggie owns a few of those sites & I'm sure she has already saved those yearbooks,
I am not sure that Glady's herself is a member here,at least I don't recall off hand ,I will check the list.
