Joseph (Joe) Glen Bramlett was a student at Pine Mountain Settlement School from 1946 through 1949, during the final years of the boarding school. He was particularly proud of his education at Pine Mountain and sent this photograph album of his time at the School to Pine Mountain in 2000 to share with others who will remember these closing years of the boarding high school program.

The photographs capture the context of the 1940s and provide a visual record of the transition of the School’s programs and the celebration of many of the traditions associated with the School, particularly the Christmas festivities.

The photographs are largely the work of Arthur Dodd with additional snapshots taken by Bramlett and by other students and staff. Also included are reproductions of common photographs that freely circulated among staff and students. Many may date from earlier times in the institutional history and the photographers are mostly unknown.

Transcription of image #57:

The Warrior River, now greatly expanded, since it became a part of the dam and lock system in the chain south of T.V.A. It has made of Birmingham [Alabama] a port, linking it with Mobile millions of tons of freight come by steamer, through the system of locks to Birmingham.
