Kindergarten in Anacortes?

Daryl Compton provided this photo from 1953 or so.  Who from our class can you identify?  The guy in the tie has a story to tell. 

"I ran across on old class photo that I'm pretty sure was my kindergarten class because I was the only one in it with a necktie because a neighbor put it on me on my way to school. Mom was upset. Now, it's humorous. This was most likely 1953 when I would have been 6.

The old baseball backstop behind is is facing 12 street in the playfield of Whitney School. Boy did I play a lot of ball at whitney growing up with a bunch of us neighbor kids - Danny Miller, Randy Iverson, Tom Swapp, Trent Courtney, Doug Merz, Rod Dorland, Doug Tidrington, many others. This was in the old days when we actually played marbles during recess.

I thought you might want to post this one on the AHS site and see if we can gather some names. The only ones I'm sure of are:
Front row: Jack Cheney 2nd, Larry Carr 4th, myself 6th, Steve Chicoratich 8th, I think.
Back row: Danny Miller 2nd, Paul Evans 4th
