A few years ago I scanned the yearbook for my graduating class of 1973 and posted it to this web site. Since then, I have received numerous messages from South Gate High School graduates of many different years, telling me that they have lost their yearbook, and they wish that they could see a copy again. My goal is to scan the senior pictures from each yearbook from the first SGHS graduating class to 1982. Obviously this is a long-term project, and one that will hopefully continue to grow for many years to come.

My interest in South Gate is deep. My grandparents, Wallace "Pat" and Gladys McFadden, came to South Gate in the early 30's. My mother (sir name Mayes) and my father, along with their combined total of nine siblings, attended South Gate High School. My father attended the same elementary school I did, Tweedy Elementary School. Both of my parents attended South Gate Junior High School.

My parents, aunts, uncles, cousins, sisters, church friends, and you, my good friends, all grew up here, and we all attended South Gate High School.

I currently have 1938, 1939, 1948, 1950, 1960, 1972, and 1973 yearbooks scanned and posted on this web site. I have a yearbook from 1937 and will make time to scan it soon. I have access to 1941, 1953, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978. If you are interested in shipping your yearbook(s) to me in Arizona, in order to be scanned (and then returned to you), contact me here.
