This looks similar to the school at Coneville where I went for 1st and 2nd grade. The set up was the same 2 rooms like this 1-3 in one and 4-6 in the other. Thank you for the jog in memories.

Similar to the Wrights School, once a 1-8 Grade School. For high school kids could go to the town school, under a tuition deal between the township school board and the borough school board, finding their own transportation. My dad hopped the train in the morning, often hitchhiked and walked home. He had to drop out at age 14 in 10th grade, to help keep the family farm afloat while the Great Depression was defeating farmers and farms were falling into the Land Bank. Many country kids, especially boys, did not finish high school. But my dad's eighth grade diploma is a thing of wonder. It is amazing how much those kids had to master. Eighth Grade Graduation could be quite an event. My dad continued his education in various ways throughout his life, went to night classes. learned Spanish and touch typing, was an excellent musician, had a fine grasp of mechanics, building construction and animal husbandry and soil science. He invented a treatment for "hardware" (ingestion of small metal fragments by cattle) adopted by veterinarians, introduced new pasture and hay methods such as use of birdsfoot trefoil, founded the Metropolitan Milk Marketing Association. He knew more history and geography and civics than most high school grads of today, and kept up with change by reading TIME, Kiplingers and Readers Digest, along with farm magazines.

After he married, my dad was a tenant farmer near Sharon Center, on the Wildcat, with Wes and Litey Sargent the owners. (Wesley and Thankful Delight Sargent.) Then he bought the buildings (a former lumber camp comverted to a house, a small, low barn, a chicken coop and a privy) and fifty acres from the Land Bank. Eked out a living on the railroad section and construction and road work and digging graves and selling firewood and working at the new glass plant, Pittsburgh Corning, in the "hot end." Seemed he knew almost everyone in Mckean and Potter Counties!

My mom walked to and from school from Stickles Hollow to Smethport on more days then not. If she was lucky she could catch a ride with her uncle when he went to the creamery. The kids now days think they have it tough.

Former Coudersport Girl Dies In Leap From Building
Death of Jewell R. Deweese Listed By New York Police As Suicide "For Reasons Unknown" Was Fashion Model.
The death of a former Coudersport girl, and a New York fashion model, whose body was found in the areaway of an apartment house at 50 Park Ave., New York, on Christmas day, has been listed as "suicide for reasons unknown," it was disclosed Sunday.
The victim was Jewell Roberta Deweese, 32, who lived with her parents on Ross St. here, before she went to Philadelphia following graduation from the Coudersport High School in 1934. She was the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Owen Deweese.
JEWELL ROBERTA DEWEESE
New York police described the woman as having had reddish brown hair which had turned almost white, apparently in recent months. They said she was divorced about three years ago from a Collinswood, N. J., man whom she married 10 years ago, and that she was the mother of an eight-year-old girl now living with relatives.
Miss Deweese apparently walked to the roof of the 18-story 50 Park Ave. building sometime late Christmas Eve or early next morning and jumped, police said. Her broken body was found on the roof of a one-story extension at the rear ol an adjoining building at 8 a. m. Christmas Day. There were no witnesses to the plunge.
Miss Deweese had been a fashion model at Bergdorf-Goodman, New York furriers. Previously, she was employed by Oscar's Model Bureau, in Philadelphia, and for a time was a hostess at Stouffer's, a Philadelphia restaurant.
Police said that Miss Deweese's body remained unidentified for two days until her finger prints were matched with those on an application which she made early in the war in seeking to become an en tertainer with the USO. She had "some singing ability," police said.
Born in Coudersport on Jan. 27, Jewell "Bobbie" as she was later known to classmates lived with her parents on Borie St.
The family, including a brother, Richard, later lived on Ross St. with Miss Rose Crane, a relative and a teacher in the Coudersport school.
Jewell's parents were divorced and, according to reports, each has remarried. The mother is reported to be living near Philadelphia and Mr. Deweese is confined to a sanatorium at Niagara Falls.
Richard is married and lives at Niagara Falls, according to local persons who knew the family.
Mrs. Fred Fessenden, Jewel's aunt, lives here. She was informed of the tragedy by friends who had read the story in Monday's Philadelphia Inquirer.
A former Coudersport woman rendered valuable assistance to New York police in their effort to identify the dead woman. Mrs. J. L. Wasson, the former Beatrice Fleschutz and a classmate of Miss Deweese, now living on Long Island, corresponded with Miss Deweese at intervals and knew something of the whereabouts of her parents. Her tip to police led to the identification.
Miss Lehman Bride Of Edward W. Pekarski
The marriage of Miss Rhoda L. Lehman to Edward W. Pekarski, son of Mr. and Mrs. Anthony Pekarski, was solemnized last evening at 7:30 o'clock, at St. Eulalia's rectory with the Rev. Francis M. O'Connell officiating.
The bridal couple was attended by Florence Corey and Walter Pekarski, a brother of the groom.
The bride chose for her wedding ensemble a two piece model of dark green shade with brown accessories. Her corsage was fashioned of stephanotis and a feather tied with white ribbon. Her attendant wore a gray suit with black accessories and a corsage of yellow roses.
Mr. and Mrs. Pekarski have an apartment on Water Street ready for their occupancy. Mr. Pekarski is employed at the tannery.
Fails To Pay Fine and Costs --Sent To Jail
Robert Chilson, Ulysses, arrested for a motor violation some weeks ago, failed to make payment of the fine and costs imposed. He was committed to the county jail by Justice D. A. Ritchie, Tuesday, to serve four days.
Faulty Brakes On School Bus Violation
Lloyd A. Tyler, R. D. 3, Coudersport, was charged Friday with operating a school bus with faulty brakes. He was notified by Justice W. C. Klein.
Shinglehouse Man Had No Registration
Roger Bump, Shinglehouse, was charged last Thursday with operating a car without plates. State troopers lodged a complaint with Justice Nellie K. Osburn.
