Student information from "The Salute": Bloomfield High School Year Book, 1932 (Part I): Andy Tymon and Russell Fischer

Print | Hits: 4843

  One thing becomes apparent when going through old school yearbooks*--our parents and grandparents were as lost and confused as we were in high school!  I'd like to remember these kids from 1932 as they were in 1932, so I did no further research on them. If Russell Fischer was nineteen at the time of this yearbook, as the entry indicates, he and his fellow classmates were at a prime age to march off to war in '41.** Let's enjoy their moments when they dreamed of "studying art in yale" or were enjoying their moment in the sun via sports. Enjoy! Pat Earnest--In Their Own Words for Passed Time 5 October 2015, Dover, Delaware

* Why not scan the entire yearbook? I considered doing so, and time-permitting (or enough people making the request) and I might attempt it. For now, other sites scan yearbooks, such as Old-Yearbooks.com. (I don't know if they charge or not). In Their Own Words, however, is my feeble attempt to flesh out people from the past and present them as, well...people. They were far more than a birth and death date. They had their own trials or, like Fischer, their own moments of glory. Through their words, the past becomes accessible and enjoyable. 

**Passed Time's readers love extra information. If you know anything about Andy Tymon or Russell Fischer, please share.
