You are an amazing researcher. I find your comments on the thread extremely helpful.
Do you have any interest in investigating the claim that Stanley Ann did or didn’t graduate from Mercer Island HS? I looked into it and found what appeared to be overwhelming evidence that she did, so for me personally the matter is resolved. Probably for those who do not believe she graduated Mercer HS, no amount of evidence would suffice, so perhaps you needn’t waste your time.
Thanks for your posts anyway; they are impressive to say the least.
I've investigated everything I could, but I haven't found any evidence she did not. To be fair there is no diploma or graduation photo, either.
One reason why there might be so few yearbooks: there was some talk that in 1960, soon after Castro took over Cuba, the Little Red Church -- the Unitarian church on Mercer Island -- put together some kind of "friendship tour" to Cuba. I think it's possible that the High School, with at least two outspoken Communist teachers -- was somehow involved in this trip. So the 1960 yearbook might have evidence of this trip and therefore evidence of how deep the Communist connections are in this school. I think that might be a good reason for the Mercer community to keep so silent about the details of 1960 and disappear so many yearbooks. Just an idea.
