School bells
With the start of the new school year fresh in everyone’s minds, perhaps it’s time to go back to an earlier school day.
And you can do just that on Tuesday.
To commemorate the 85th anniversary of the first graduating class of Hatfield High School in 1924, the Hatfield Museum & History Society will present, “School Days — Remembering Hatfield School” for its Tuesday, Sept. 22 program.
This photo shows Hatfield students posing next to their school buses in front of the Hatfield Joint Consolidated School building in this circa 1925 photograph.
The Hatfield Joint Consolidated School was built in 1921-22 as a joint effort between Hatfield Township and Hatfield Borough to provide a modern 12-grade facility for their students.
The Class of 1955 was the last to graduate from Hatfield High School, after which high school students attended the North Penn High School in Lansdale.
A slideshow photographic presentation will take a look back at many of the students, faculty members, clubs, plays, operettas and sports teams that make up the Hatfield School’s history.
In addition, there will be many tables filled with more photographs, yearbooks and memorabilia from the school for attendees to enjoy.
Anyone who attended or worked at the Hatfield Joint Consolidated School will not want to miss this program, which will be held in the Hatfield Fire Company banquet hall, 75 N. Market Street, beginning at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday.
The program is free and open to the public. Refreshments will follow the program.
