Do the class pictures have names?

The question has been asked if the pictures have names and the answer is yes they do. I did not add the names to the posts for a few reasons. First, I thought it might be more fun to try and guess who everybody is, and second, I thought most of us would know almost everybody anyway, so there was no need to name the pictures. But mostly I didn't add the names because it would have taken twice as long to post the pictures. So okay... call me lazy. :)

Anyway, as you hover your mouse over the picture, the file name is the last part of what pops up in the status bar at the lower left corner of the browser. For example, if you hover over my picture in the Junior year post, you'll see http:// photos1.blogger.com/3102/2210/1600/dougp3.jpg show up in the status bar. The last part is the name of the file. For the Junior, Sophomore, and Freshman pictures I used first name, first initial of the last name, and year as the naming convention (dougp3.jpg). In the Senior year section I used a combination of letters from the first and last name, so those will be a little harder to figure out. I would have used the same naming convention then, but I didn't know at the time I was going to do all four years. :)

I have looked at the pictures in Internet Explorer, Netscape, Firefox and Opera and they all showed the name in the status bar. I'm not sure if any Apple browsers do or not since I have no way to test for that.

One last note. Obviously there are sometimes I had to deviate a little on the name. For example, with Mike Stafford, Mike Schrimpsher and Mike Skinner, they can't all be named mikes, so there will be some variance for those with similar names. And lastly, there might be a typo in a name here or there, and if so I apologize. It wasn't intentional, and although Mrs. Miller tried, typing was never my strong suit.
