This picture is my Sixth grade class at Broad Street School. I thought I would put this on since I have been blogging about the school and Plattsburgh. The man on the right side of the picture is Gilbert Duken. Not only did he have to teach a class of 35 students he also was the principal. He also found time to take on a student teacher (standing on the other side) for part of the year. Also, he was an alderman for the city. I think about him when I hear teachers complain today.

love old school photos wish I had more of them!
I love old school photos too. Tells you so much about the times by their clothes and what’s around them. Plus they are just fun to look at. Thanks for sharing yours .
This photo is so typical of ones I have – I even looked to see if I recognized anyone, but this wasn’t taken in Sarasota, FL so I don’t know why I did! I remember those headbands!
The picture is wonderful. Your teacher/principal sounds like he was an amazing person and able to successfully juggle many activities.

I agree with Marie . . . I also have a sixth grade picture of my class, and for some reason it seems that the students have an uncanny similarity . . . plaid shirts, hairstyles, photography style. http://psalmboxkey.com/2011/09/16/briarhill-road-springfield-looking-back/
