William Allen High School - 1950
The photo of the Library Club which appeared in the 1950 William Allen High School yearbook. It reads at top:

"These students aren't bookworms, but they do like to read and enjoy working in our school library during their study hall periods. Their duties consist of shelving books, helping at the desk, reading shelves, and planning attractive displays for the show cases. At their regular Monday meetings, they are given problems to test their knowledge of special reference books.

The Library Club celebrated Book Week by sponsoring a book and magazine quiz which was given in all three assembly programs. The winner in each of the programs received a year's subscription to a magazine of his choice. Other outstanding activities included entertaining of the faculty at their annual tea, the selling of candy, souvenirs, etc. at the Girls' Physical Education Exhibition, and the presentation of the Bohemian Glass Blowers.

This club is an excellent organization for students interested in books and for those anticipating a library career."
Date & Place: at William Allen High School 106 North 17th Street, in Allentown, Lehigh County, Pennsylvania 18102, United States

I want to build a place where my son can meet his great-grandparents. My grandmother Marian Joyce (Benning) Kroetch always wanted to meet her great-grandchildren, but she died just a handful of years before my son's birth. So while she didn't have the opportunity to meet him, at least he will be able to know her. For more information about what we're building see About AncientFaces. For information on the folks who build and support the community see Daniel - Founder & Creator.
My father's side is full blood Sicilian and my mother's side is a combination of Welsh, Scottish, German and a few other European cultures. One of my more colorful (ahem black sheep) family members came over on the Mayflower. He was among the first to be hanged in the New World for a criminal offense he made while onboard the ship.
