Do you have class pictures of other grades and other sections of our class ?
Teacher's names ? Class roster ?
Pictures of other years of our class ?
This page is a logical (to me) result of recently finding
pictures of my classmates. If I don't create a web page,
I forget things. As more pictures are found they will be
added. I would also like to put up the class reunion pictures and write-ups -- I have
5- and 10-year pics somewhere, others would be appreciated.
History in brief.
The Prospect Park Elementary School was located on Lincoln
Avenue at 8th, next to the Methodist Church and across from the Baptist Cemetery.
When a new elementary school was built
on Pennsylvania Avenue between 9th and 10th Avenues in 1949, the whole
school walked to the new building. We had Miss Jones, the principle,
for 4th grade and got the big room with the bay window. Can't remember
fifth grade, but for sixth grade we had a young and lively teacher.
The Prospect Park High School was next door, up the hill on
Washington Avenue. The gym was small and cold. School colors were blue
and gold ; tho called Prospectors, the team mascot was a goat.
The Glenolden School ...
The Norwood School ...
The Glen-Nor School ...
The Interboro School District. was forned in 1955 by merger of Glen-Nor and Prospect Park schools The school colors became Black
and Gold (we were told there were too many shades of green to assure
matching uniforms) and the mascot became a Buccaneer. The old PPHS
become the Jr. High and the old Glen-Nor became the Sr. High. Tinicum
students also attended. For the 11th and 12th grades we had a lot of new
faces who soon became friends. We now had a big gym and lunch room.
(I've got to look for the yearbooks; how much I have forgotten is embarrassing.)
Memories of an aging mind (without reference to yearbooks that are "someplace safe.")
