Broad Street School
People love to see kids at the old schools in our area, and today we feature another Lansdale school.
Kenneth R. Walker of Sellersville submitted this photo of the old Broad Street School of Lansdale — well, actually it’s a bunch of kids posing outside the school.
Walker noted that he attended the school during the fifth and sixth grades, during the mid-1940s.
One photo includes the entire class when he attended; the other is “just the boys.”
In that photo, Walker noted, “I’m in the back row, second from right. On my left is Fred Schmidt. Front row on right is Henry Rouch. To the left of him is “Peanut” Cliver.
“I know Bruce Hemmerle is in there somewhere, and a Cook, a Woodward, and there was a boy that lived on Third Street and I think his dad drove a taxi, but I can’t think of his name!”
Perhaps someone out there looking at these photos will recognize a few familiar faces.
Walker also noted that he lived on Hancock Street, Lansdale, “in a big house down a long lane. It is now a park and trail area.”
