Edgewater Christmas Concert 1951

Thanks to Rich Crance for this early Edgewater photo which apparently includes more than one class for their annual Christmas concert.  Since Edgewater isn't that well represented in the grammar school photos, we've split this picture to allow a closer view of the cute young faces of Richard Crance, Arlene Sheehan, Hilde Schmidhamer....and, in photo #2, Charlie Knapp, Gail Opoulos, Jon Lawson, the Allisons, Ken AND Susan...and more that we haven't been able to pick out yet.  Let us know if you recognize any others.

 This is probably the 5th or 6th grade in Franklin School.  In the back row are 2 classmates, Anne Buchler on the left and Roberta Ivery on the right.  I don't recognize the girl in the middle in the bottom row.  The other 2 girls in the picture went on to Dwight School for Girls, the name at the time. ~ J.T.G.

Welcome to the first grade, Ridgefield NJ School #2, where the girls outnumbered the boys almost 2/1.  What a way to start out!  Where are all the boys?  We'll have to get some more of these early pictures and see if Ridgefield #2 is unique...or if this was a trend.

 

This is our first in a series of early class pictures submitted by Barbara Rahner Reece.  How many of these adorable tykes traveled right on up through DMHS with us?  I can count 5, including Barbara, but there may be more.  See yourself, or anyone you recognize?  Let us know.  It would be nice to be able to put names on these cute little faces. 

If you have your 1st grade class pix - or any other - send it in.  The call is out for more early class photos, so keep checking back to this page for new photos.  Meanwhile, you Oradell, Englewood, Edgewater classmates, start searching if you want equal representation!
