Time Travel: Indian Football Standouts from the 1950s and J.C. Penney in Downtown Clarksburg in 1962

This photo is from the 1950s showing some former Bridgeport High School football players. Do you know who they are and what exact year this might be from? If so, add in the comment section below.
JC Penney has been a decades-long occupant of the Meadowbrook Mall. Before that, however, it was a mainstay in downtown Clarksburg along with many other top-name retailers. This photo was taken in 1962 and is the location of a former Clarksburg shopping area that was known as "The Arcade Building." The Arcade was destroyed by fire.
