About those old school movies
\nThanks for posting those early (probably shot in 1962) films. The portion that was shown in the chemistry room had to have been shot no later than 1962, since that was last year that science was taught in that room (SW corner of the 2nd floor of RBW). During the spring and summer of that year a 2nd floor was added to the SE corner of the building and that was the new and I might add very functional science wing.
\nIt occurred to me that since chemistry was mostly taken during the Junior year back then, that most of the individuals shown in the chemistry room setting probably graduated in 1963. So, I guess they would all be about 67 years old. Wow — how time flies.
\nThanks again,

\n[Editor’s note: We, too, questioned the date on two of the movies. We also believe that a lot of the footage came from 1962.]<\/p>\n
The lady and young girl that walk out of the house and walk to school at the very beginning of this video is my mom and sister. I never knew this video existed until now. I was only three years old so I’m sure I was busy playing or something.

Here’s an idea. How about urging viewers to use the Youtube Commenting feature to add names of people they can identify in the clips?

\nThis is part 1 of a film from the St. Johns High School archives. Unfortunately we have not located associated audio. It is still very interesting to watch.
