Re: DM, The High School years... fyi if he did not graduate, then you'd be looking for 1975 or 1976 yearbooks depending on if that high school was grade 9-12 or just 10-12, and depending on how long he actually made it in his education before giving up like a quitter.
Re: DM, The High School years... He only spent one year in U.S. high schools (10th grade) so I doubt you'll find much from him in middle school. 1976 yearbook is probably the best/only shot, unless you're looking for Ron Jr., Denise, or Lori. Theoretically, Denise graduated from Marple-Newtown HS in 1978...
Re: DM, The High School years... how about elementry school pic then? Our school had group pics every year
Re: DM, The High School years... Pennypacker school on facebook with pics of former classmates samuel pennypacker elementary school philadelphia,pa | Facebook c*cks and all if this has already been posted
Re: DM, The High School years... he would have been in 6th grade in 1966 at Pennypacker Although the name does not match in this picture according to the person who names all the kids in this pic.... This kid looks just like DM to me lol
Re: DM, The High School years... every nano of him? nano is 10^-9 or 1 thousand millionth so it is 1,000 times as small as a micron.
Re: DM, The High School years... LOL @ this thread! I can see none of you internets detectives googled "Pennypacker Patriots". Spoiler: c.f. "The Usual Suspects"
Re: DM, The High School years... I dunno man. DM born in 1960, pic taken in 1965-66. so he was 5-6 yrs old at that time. far too young for a grade 6 class. anymore like that?
Re: DM, The High School years... it's a longshot but anyone with an uber secure, sooper sekrit, awesome, anonymous, email account wanna harpoon here schoolyear@digitaldataonline.com and request a 1976 marple newtown yearbook?
Re: DM, The High School years... Make it easy on yourselves. Just locate kids who knew him, back from his old neighborhood in the early 1970's. Use online search services, or old phone directories (from area libraries), then ask them for a scan from an old yearbook.

Re: DM, The High School years... No, he's not that old. 6th grade = 11/12 yrs old. He wasn't born in 1954.
Re: DM, The High School years... I wonder what kind of a kid Miscavige was. If he was a quiet type there is a chance that very few people would even remember him. I am not saying that you shouldn't try. Please try. It still sounds like a fun idea and may even prove to be useful.
Re: DM, The High School years... Why would DM work so hard to conceal his school days? it'd be funny if he took a couple of psych courses back then. he'd be drummed out of $cientology faster than tom cruise signs a cheque to LRH.
Re: DM, The High School years... Family called him 'Enrico Entheta,' and he was prone to temper tantrums. I'm betting he wasn't the quiet type, he was the skinny, wheezing shortie and I bet the other kids made fun of him. Think about it. Didn't everyone have a couple of those in class? They weren't treated very well. I wonder how many tack hole scars DM has on his ass end?
Re: DM, The High School years... ^^ This post should be added to the OP. Do you still have the list of Class of '78. It would be worth bugging them on FB, as it probably has been a few years and people are more receptive now to scanning old stuff. The only possible photo of DM is the 1976 yearbook under 10th grade. (DM may have attended part of the spring from previous year, but that would be after photos). Someone near Philly needs to go to high school to see if they can get a picture of the yearbook. We may contact people from the class of 1976.. As his classmates from '78 are useless as none of them will remember him, and very few if any kept their 10th grade yearbook. So, can we find class of '76 people? Is there any benefit of getting pictures from Denise high school senior year, and mocking DM for the fact that his twin actually graduated school and DM still to this day probably doesn't even have GED equivalent??
Re: DM, The High School years... Suggestions here are good, but advocate doing the research the hard way. A better idea is identifying classmates from references that are external to the high school (where student identification is protected as a privacy issue). Identify the local paper. Have some visit the local library. Research microfilms of issues in the spring and fall, from about 1978 through 1979. There you will find local coverage that names names of 16-17 year olds, who were members of varsity sports teams (football, baseball, maybe cheerleaders too) and other notable school-related groups, who would have been classmates of the lilliputian wannabe-hitler. Note those who have more unique last names (like Miscavige, and not so much those named Smith or Jones). Search the most unusual names online, looking for those who are about age 50. Ask those folks for a yearbook, or a contact to a class representative (someone very popular and still in touch, like those involved in planning reunions).
Re: DM, The High School years... For most of us, scouring Google, calling librarians, delving into social networking sites, arguing with herro, making funny pictures of cats, are easier ways to do research, than heading for the airport and flying hundreds or thousands of miles to hit the Philly pavement. Even for people in PA and surrounding states, it would be at least a several hour trip in most cases, and something that would require planning and cost and time. Unless they happened to live in Philly, in which case they'd already have done the above. And wouldn't necessarily be posting anything about it until the OP was compleat.
Re: DM, The High School years... Most problems are easily solved, with a little creativity. How about: "Calling all Philly Anons" or "Calling out an Ex-Scilon in Philly" or "Calling out a willing researcher near Philly", or "Calling out an APA - Amer Psych Assn - Member near Philly". (to do the world just a little favor)? There's a genuine psycho running about, promoting books which advocate mass murder, making speeches advocating bombing opponents, and he has recognizable celebrities, high government officials and billions of dollars at his disposal. That's a threat!! If WW2 could have been headed off in 1933, (by asking someone to spend an hour in a library, to do a little personal profiling on an ascendant psycho), would that be an easy thing to ask?
Re: DM, The High School years... surly theres a philly anon with one or 2 degrees of separation with some student at this school, one who might have access to the library? or to old class photos which pretty much every highschool EVER has hanging in the halls. perhaps a quick cell phone pic.
