Possibly, man, ya never know. I will see what else I can find out... Also, on that heinz history center photo site that was listed here a few days ago, there's a pic of one class at Minersville school, with a little cardboard ID thing in front of them, I think it said 1898? Not sure. It's in the Miscellaneous group. Will try to find a bit more info on these schools, but not sure what I'll be able to find.

It proves that my sources weren't tipping the bottle! I find it truly amazing that Riverside High School seemed to last less than 30 years. It must have been a very small building as there isn't a helluva lot of property there. It would have to have been south of the railroad tracks and north of West Carson and, I presume, Riverside St. I guess that Tom Murphy had a relative who was mayor back in the thirties and the high school got in the way of some of his ideas.............
