First North Penn class


We seem to be continuing a school theme of late, and this week we see a photo of the second-grade class from North Wales Elementary School in 1945-46.
Judie Cook Lorenson has submitted this photo and notes that she is the fifth student from the right in the first row, in case you want to pick her out.
She writes:

“I was with this group until the end of grade four, when my family moved to Upper Gwynedd and I attended the Upper Gwynedd Elementary School on Broad Street for grade five; then the West Point School for grades six through nine; after which time I attended Lansdale High School for grades 10 and 11; graduating grade 12 from North Penn Joint High School, now known as North Penn High School.
“My group from Upper Gwynedd was one of many who joined Lansdale High School students in September 1955 to create the North Penn Joint High School and graduate from grade 12 in June 1956.
“What a joy it was to graduate from high school with boys and girls with whom I had begun my schooling.”

Lorenson also noted that the class celebrated its 50th anniversary in 2006.

“What fun it was to meet again people from bygone days,” she notes.

We’re sure it was a treat to reunite after 50 years!
