The photo, reprinted at right, was used in a Western promotional brochure, "The Story of Western." "We thought we were really celebrities," said Sheila Barrett, 61, who went on to become a teacher's aide and a runway model for 30 years. Trevor Barrett, 64, who works in the electronics business in the San Jose area, saw Sheila walking aaoss campus one day in January 1957 and later sought her out at a school dance. Stutz, 64, an industrial arts major, says he vividly remembers taking that shot. Stutz, who owns Fresno Photography and Dynamic Image Promotions, is a retired high school teacher and swimming coach.
