The school year is almost over for area students, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t think back fondly to our own school days.
That includes Shirley Cardell Snyder of Lansdale, who has submitted this photo from 1940 of the second-grade class of the North Wales Grade School.
The building that housed the school back then, as she notes, is now the borough building.
In this photo we see the teacher, identified as Mrs. Klinefelter, with her young charges.
According to the information supplied by Snyder, here are the names of the students she can identify:
First row, from left: Beryl Stone, Bette Jane Mayall, Janette Cope, Bertha Dilworth, Anna Dilworth, Sarah Ann Spear and Blanche Hoffman.
Second row, from left: Shirley Cardell (you know, who submitted this photo), Lois Kratz, Mary Tustin, Ruth Lloyd, Shirley Goodolf, Shirley Street, Bertha Hadrick and Barbara (last name unknown.)
In the back row, from left, the first person is unknown, then Russell Snyder, then unknown, then Warren Ziegenfuss, Jack Geissinger, Victor Jochen, Howard Kramer and Richard Cardell, who happens to be Shirley’s cousin.
