Some students from Howe High School recreated a photo from 1955 taken in the exact same building, in the exact same place 60 years ago. In 1955, 101 E. Haning St. in Howe, Texas was a classic 50’s diner named Ray’s Cafe. The building was recently refurbished and the 1955 photo was found. Beverly Jay Martin, the lady in the 2015 photo at the bar was the girl sitting down (far right) in the 1955 photo.
The new photo was taken by Victory Light Sports Photography in Howe.
