Ray Devore (1924-2017) Warren High School class of 1942



1942 Dragon yearbook

Ray's high school activities:
Science Club (3, 4); Dragon (3); Hi-Y (2, 3)
The obituary notes he "was very active in the class of 1942, Warren Area High School."   Warren High School changed its name to Warren Area High School in September 1960, when a new facility opened on a hill above East Fifth Avenue.

1967 Warren City Directory
  • Devore Lyle (Phyllis) Devore supt Warren Components h16 Bauer
  • Rulander Lovena D Tas Collector 31 Pine Blvd North Warren
1983 Warren City Directory
  • Devore Lyle (Phyllis) Devore slsma Solar Electric h16 Bauer

The popularity of 'Raymond' as a baby name is found here.  Let's take a look at 'Lyle'.


Lyle's prime period occurred from 1912 until 1946, when he spent 35 years in the top 200, peaking at #145 in 1918.  Last year, he took a very tentative step onto the comeback trail after a 20-year absence from the top 1000.

Greetings from Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood



The Art Deco building that housed the NBC Radio Center in Hollywood had a very short life.  It opened in 1938 and was razed in 1964, when NBC moved its studios to "beautiful downtown Burbank".  

Another building that opened in 1938, the Earl Carroll Theater is in the background at right.  It was designated a City of Los Angeles Historical-Cultural Landmark on December 7, 2016.
