Telford school days .... back in the 1930s




The end of the school year has come, and so today we feature a few more photos of school days gone by.
These photos are from the West Telford High School, featuring faculty from 1930-31, and the classes of 1931 and 1932.
Joanne Kratz of Souderton has submitted the three photos we feature today.
She notes:
“They belonged to my cousin, Marian Fensterle ... and came into my possession after she passed away. Both Marian and her sister, Ruth, quit school to go to work in one of the local factories. Had they remained in school, I believe Ruth would have graduated in 1931 and Marian in 1932.
“Marian had the pictures in an album and labeled with all the names.”
The photo of the faculty shows Miss Wampole, Miss Crankshaw, Miss Moyer, Mrs. Scholl, Mrs. Guenther, Mrs. Kenneth Bickel and Cora Mitch.
The Class of 1931 features Miss Crankshaw, Mabel Halteman, Leila Price, Jacy Bartel and Mary Brunner in the back row; Alma Moyer, Evelyn Simmons, Helen Moyer and Miss Mitch in the middle row; and Howard Wampole, Garland Savacool, Lloyd Freed and Herman Carver in the front row.
The Class of 1932 features, in back row, Carey Savacool, Anna Utz, Anna M. Huhn, Edna Fetter, Doris Blank, Grace Barndt and Vincent Garges; in middle row, Herbert Weigner, Fern Magee, Marian Shade, Perna Gerhart, Violet Hayes and Howard Savacool; and, front row, Gordon Strohm, Harold Shade, Charles Keller, Lamar Slemmer and Russell Rittenhouse.
