Time Travel: Halloween Fun at All Saints School Back in 1963 and Years Ago at Old Ritchie County School

By Dick Duez on November 06, 2022 from History Blog via Connect-Bridgeport.com

Halloween fun in Bridgeport has been going back decades, as is shown in this photo courtesy of Susie Graeber. This photo is from Oct. 31, 1963 and shows students from All Saints School posing on the Merry-Go-Round. See anyone you know? If so, add it to the comment section below.
Although the date of this photo is unknown, it is clearly many decades ago and shows a step up from the old one-room school houses. This is the Jackson School in Ritchie County. If anyone has any memories of this building please post a comment in the comment section below.
 
EDITOR'S NOTE: This ongoing photo feature of pictures from Bridgeport and throughout the Mountain State is part of local historian Richard "Dick" Duez's collection, the unofficial historian of Bridgeport, would appreciate any scanned photos emailed to him for use here or to include in his ongoing efforts Duez to preserve local history. You can email photos, or let him know how to acquire copies of photos you may have in your possession, to Duez at dickdo@citynet.net.
