The girl in the middle is Priscilla Beaulieu Presley.
This is a picture from page 558 of the 1961 "Vapor Trails". Priscilla attended the Wiesbaden military base school and this was the Sophomore class section of the year book.
This picture was taken early in the year prior to her transformation while she was dating Elvis in Germany. To verify read her book, "Elvis and Me," in which she talks about her life on the base.
When I met her my school from Bitburg Military Base was on a production tour to several other bases in Germany. Everyone knew she was the girl dating the most popular Rock 'n Roll star.
My family was shipped out to England in Oct., 1958, from New York City and Elvis was on the boat that left the day before us. We followed his "enlistment" activities until we returned to the States in 1961, the year the Berlin wall went up. We were transferred to Germany in Jan., 1959.
More historical "gems" to follow in the future.
