  • @toma419 would it be ok with you if i used this?

  • @probraid Thank you very much for posting this. I am from Swan Pond in Harriman but my mom, sis and neices all live in Rockwood. I am now in Wenatchee WA. Have been since 1986 except for 2 yrs when I moved back to Rockwood.

  • WOW! where did this come from???? I am from Harriman but also lived in Rockwood

  • Wow, little old Rockwood back in the day! How things change...

  • Campbell High School, a black high school, is also shown with the principle Dr John Brownlow Olinger and Mr. Luttrell, the owner of Roane Theater, Mr Luttrell had this film made to be shown in his theater. Campbell high had a student body from about four counties, being the only black high school in Roane county. Campbell was the smallest accredited high school (black or white) in Tennessee.

  • they filmed it to show what rockwood was like

  • My Aunt Pat & Uncle Mac Evans watched this video and knew a bunch of people. Mac saw his Uncle Tom Evans & Aunt Ruth Evans and their son Tom Harper Evans in the hardware store.

    The principle shown at Rockwood High School is Mac's cousin (Fay Evans). My Aunt Pat attended Rockwood High 1950-1953 and thinks she saw herself coming down the steps with her classmates.

    Pat & Mac loved watching this. My Uncle Frank Evans recognized a bunch kinfolk and friends in this video too.

    Thanks for posting!
