Time Travel: BUMC 1967 Vacation Bible School Class and a Visit with the Unidis High School Football Team

By Dick Duez on March 23, 2025 from History Blog

See any familiar faces in this photo? This is the 1967 Vacation Bible School class of the Bridgeport United Methodist Church.The photo is courtesy of Jessica Orrahood, who is one of those in the photo. If you know anyone and want to identify them, please do so in the comment section below.
The year of this photo is unknown, but it is many decades old. It shows the Unidis High School football team. The high school closed in 1965 when it was consolidated with Lost Creek High School to form South Harrison High School. It eventually became an elementary school before burning down in the 1970s. 
 
EDITOR'S NOTE: This ongoing photo feature of pictures from Bridgeport and throughout the Mountain State is part of local historian Richard "Dick" Duez's collection, the unofficial historian of Bridgeport, would appreciate any scanned photos emailed to him for use here or to include in his ongoing efforts to preserve local history. You can email photos, or let him know how to acquire copies of photos you may have in your possession, to Duez at dickdo@citynet.net.
