Pictures from the Past

Many of the pictures in the newspaper’s old files have no names or dates. If you know anything about the photo and would like to offer the information to our readers, please call 662-252-4261 or send an email to southreporter@dixie-net.com. This week’s photo is a public official being “arrested” for a charity fund-raiser.

Last week’s photo:

We received an email from Shauneille Jackson Mason with the following info.: I posted on Ole Miss Friends on Face Book, and asked members to look at picture online. Since I did not enroll in Ole Miss until ’78-’79, I only knew Brenda Byers because she was from Holly Springs. Members identified the subjects as, from left: Brenda Byers (Gipson), from Holly Springs, Lucretia Jones, Carla Jackson, Trese Evans, Ruby Orange. The picture is from the Miss Ebony pageant at Ole Miss in 1977. Shauneille Jackson Mason, Class of ’83 and ’97. P.S. - I won the title of Miss Ebony at Ole Miss in 1980. I was featured on the front page of the Daily Mississippian, and either on the front page or the society page of The South Reporter.

• Shirley Byers also emailed and identified her sister, Brenda Byers Gipson.
