Anyone remember these young ladies? They were senior princesses for the 1983 Bridgeport High School homecoming.

Before it became Stone & Thomas, this longstanding building on the corner of Main and Third Street in downtown Clarksburg was home to Parsons-Souders. The massive, multi-story department store that would eventually relocated to the Meadowbrook Mall was among the last of the big retail chains to leave the downtown area. Today, the City of Clarksburg's City Hall sits on the site.
