We need some help with updating our more recent Genealogical files, specifically our collection of yearbooks for Coalgate, Tupelo and Olney High schools. We appreciate anyone who is willing to help by donating their yearbook copies to the CCGS.

For Olney, we have nothing prior to 1970. What we have are: 1970, 1981, 83, 85, 86, 87 and then every year from 1990-2007. To complete our collection, what we would like to have would be any yearbooks prior to 1970 and dates from 1971 through 1980.

For Tupelo, we have yearbooks every other year from 1965 through 1979, and then every year from 1980 through 1991. 1992 is missing, and then we have every year from 1993-2019.
What we would like to have to complete our Tupelo collection would be any Tupelo yearbooks before 1965, 1992, and then all since them 2020-2024.

For Coalgate, we need a bunch. We have 1918, 1955-1959, 1963-64, 1972-76, 1978-85, 1988-91,1993-2002, 2004-2019. What we would like to have to complete our collection we need anything before 1955, 65-71, 77, 86, 87, 2003, 2020-2023.

Any donations would be sincerely appreciated.

Thanks
