Steve Williams, Miss Hilton (housemother), and John Northington.
Miss Hilton was the meanest housemother I've ever had in my life. And I had the misfortune to have
her as my housemother for FIVE years! Two years of hell in the second boy's dormitory, and when
I thought I was finally free from her, I got stuck with her for another three years of hell in the fourth
boy's dormitory. Life in the dormitory in these years were my worst and most miserable years at CID.

John Northington and Miss Hilton.
Eventually John moved out of the dormitory and lived with Don & Kay Nichols.

Tommy Richardson on the roof after a Boy Scout camping trip.
Tommy Richardson as a catcher. He was really a fan of the St. Louis Cardinals.
Craig Cutter. Another baseball fanatic.
Lewis Moehlman. Another baseball fanatic.
I guess we all were baseball fanatics because we played baseball nearly everyday after school.
We had enough boys to form two teams, and the Forest Park was a great place to play baseball.
Three baseball fanatics.
Tommy Richardson, Charles Turbeville, and Craig Cutter.
