Yardville School Sports Club- 1953-54


My good friend and life long Groveville resident, Howard LeJambre brought this picture to my attention. As he stated, this is something you’ll never see again, Kids bringing their guns and Bows and Arrows, to school and standing with the Principal.

This club discussed fishing and hunting techniques. Along with that they were taught Gun and Archery safety. The person running the club was the school principal, Mr. Hancock.

If this many kids brought Guns and Bow and Arrows to school today, you would not be able to see the school for the SWAT teams. How times have changed.

Howard and I speculated how they got the guns to school and they were most likely brought on the School Bus, in 1954 no one had an extra car to take a child to school, dad had the car at work.
