Group photos

The next few pictures feature several of the girls from the school.

Physical education was a required class for each of the girls at Logan Academy.
From left to right: "Buttons," "Pede," Elna Haworth (married name: Robins), Yetive Stowell, and "Fritz."

Nicknames were commonly used by the girls.

The building in the background was part of the school, probably Honeyman Hall. The senior girls stayed in this building. There were two other buildings for a total of three at Logan Academy. 

Here are "Eddie" and Mildred Jackson (married name is Staley).

Mildred and Mom were roommates one year. Mildred's
 mother was good friends with my mother's mother.

From left to right:
Josephine, Berniece (Cook?), and Lore

This must have been taken in the spring or the fall as evidenced by the trees in full leaf as well as the light-colored dresses and hats. At Logan Academy, hats were required for attendance at church services.

Out for a Sunday Walk

The caption for this picture says, "Out for a Sunday Walk, Pede and Ada Marcia."

The neighborhood is likely the one where Logan Academy was located. Below are links to two old photos of the school:

The Logan Library offers this picture of the New Jersey Academy, later renamed to become the Logan Academy.

Here's a color picture of the school that is part of Westminster College's digital collection. (The trees in the picture obscure much of the view of the buildings.)

You can use Google Street View to explore the area as it looks today.

Pede and Patty

Here are Pede and Patty. Mom says that many girls were known by nicknames and she thinks Pede (rhymes with "seed") is an example.

Mom remembers that Patty's last name was McGee (or a similar spelling). Her father was a doctor in the Logan area. Mom's Aunt Ellen lived with the McGee family when Ellen was going to school to become a nurse. This would have been prior to 1930.
