LMS indeed still has the Purple Pup as its mascot.

LMS still includes River Oaks, Afton Oaks, Highland Village, Boulevard Oaks, Southampton, and half of Montrose in its attendance boundaries.

Just curious.  My husband's mother Cherie Jacqueline Turner attended Lanier Junior High School in Spring 1946 - Spring 1949.  I wonder if anyone that attended during those years might remember her.  She was my husband's mother and she died in 1966.  I have been researching her childhood to make memories for my husband and his sisters, but am having a hard time finding anything about her high school years.  I do know she did not graduate, because she got married in April of 1950, her senior year.  It would be fun to find someone that knew her that could maybe tell a story about her.  Anyone?

Well... I went there 1947-1950 when it was known as Lanier Jr. High. I have a "Purple Pup" newspaper from that era. Do they still have it?

The best bet is to go to the school and ask to see old yearbooks, then checking who attended at the same time, and using zabasearch or people searches to find them. People who were aged 12 in 1946 were born around 1934, making them around 84 years of age right now.

where was location?

I was there in the late '40's. If I remember correctly, it was in the back of the school, on the third floor, above the gymnasium, which took up two floors.

I have no idea if that had changed by 1960.
