Eddy at Gough

Student body on the steps of St. Paulus Lutheran Church (destroyed by fire 1995), with bus parked in front. The school purchased the bus in August 1929 (for $2,218). The thinking was it would help increase enrollment if children could be picked up and taken to school. (It worked: enrollment went from less than 30 to 58 for the fall session of 1929). (JH)
