Title: Another picture of Howard High School
Post by: Janet Harrington on April 29, 2007, 01:34:24 PM
Frank Winn e-mailed me this picture, so I have added it to the forum.  Now, someone provide us with some dates (years) these photos were probably taken.  Both pictures have cars in them.  The one from Marcia has some kind of a Model T Ford or something like that.  The one Frank Winn sent has some different kind of old cars in it.

To my eyes, the automobile in the forefront appears to be a 47 or 48 Studebaker.

The first parked car appears to be a 54 Dodge.

The back most car appears to be a Willys Station Wagon.

Oh, cool.  I knew someone would know what kind of cars they were.  And snow on the ground.  Imagine that.

The Studebaker is and early 50s 'Commander" and belonged to Lewis Ray Fuerstch our Sciemce Teacher. He later traded it in on a Blue and White Studebaker Silver Hawk, which was very futuristic.. Mr Fuertsch left Howard and went to Easter Oklahoma State College at Wilburton , Oklahoma where taught for 30 Years. He now lives in the Kansas City area and is doing great. He loaned me a bunch of slides from the 50s and I had them copied off in pictures for my collection of Howard High School pictures from the 50s.

Janet I would guess he is around 80. He was very young when he taught at Howard in the mid 50s. He came to the Alumni banquet last year. Really a neat person and was a great teacher.
