Comments from Ned Corbett re the Boothwyn School photos. :

All of the pictures were taken on the front steps of the old Boothwyn Elementary school which at the time had classrooms for elementary, junior and senior high school. The window on the right side of the photos is at the boiler room. The coal chute is shown between the front steps and the window. The coal bin was under the front steps. I recoginze the teacher in photos 1,3,and 5 but I don't remember her name. The teacher in photo # 6, I think may have been Mrs. Humpton who taught fifth grade. Her classroom was the far room on the first floor right side just outside of the girls rest room. This would indicate the late 30's to early 40's. The boy in the last photo, standing at the front right side of the photo appears to be wearing a sailor's white hat which would indicate a time period of the early 40's possibly after the onset of WW2.

Since the photos were taken on the front steps of the elementary school, I would suspect that Ogden students from the one room school are in the minority. I don't recognize any one in the photos. The car in the photos would indicate pre world war 2. I believe that was the last that headlights were mounted on the fenders.
