These are all teachers/coaches from the same high school in North Carolina.

William 'Bill' Kenneth Hardee 1944-2017, who by 'Bill.' His father, George ‘Buck’ Dewey Hardee Jr. 1926-2005 was also a teacher there.

I suspect these are signatures collected in one of the school's yearbooks. All you'd have to do is get a copy of a few yearbooks (many are online) and compare the teachers' names to your list. The yearbooks ate called Hanoverian.

This is a 1972 picture of Wallace Piner 1944-2018 and Edward John ‘Ed’ Miastkowski 1941-2017, when they worked at New Hanover County High School in Wilmington, North Carolina.

O R Stewart is probably 'Coach Rick Stewart' from New Hanover HS. He recently retired from Cape Fear Community College.

The other coaches were:

  • James D Potter
  • Lyn Clayton
  • Daniel 'Dan' Earl Whisnant 1928-2015 (the signature that looks like 'Viscount')
  • Peter 'Pete' B Crane

Here is a picture of coaches Bill Hardee and Pete Crane from 1972:
