Dormitory Life • 1951-1952

Photos by Bob Armentrout '54
Response by Pat Skelly '52

   Bob Armentrout '54 (Shreveport LA) spent his Sophomore year at Nurnberg, living in the dorms, that long-ago year when we were Seniors. He was kind enough to send me some photos he'd recently come across. Here's a chance to dredge up memories, and to confirm or improve some guesses about the dorms that year. I've been helped here also by Betty Thomas, '54, who has sent me copies of some of our Yearbook pages as a working tool.

Senior Girls' Dorm 1951    Bob asks, "Would you confirm that the fuzzy pic is the old girl's dorm? I'm fairly certain I took it from the top floor of the boy's dorm."

   Pat found a snapshot in the Yearbook taken from across the street which identifies that building from another angle as the old Senior Girls' Dorm. Can someone send us a sketch of the old school area showing where each building was located. And where were the Elementary School kids at that time?



Boys' Dorm 1951    Here are Pat's guesses as to who's who, with corrections from Ann Wyss Markham '54 and from Bob Armentrout '54:

   Front row, left to right:
(1) Robert Giuliano '52, (2) Archie Redell '54, (3) John Litherland '54, (4) Dulaney O'Roark '54, (5) David Peterson '54, (6) Willard Philbrick '55, (7) Paul Sears '55. (8) Bob Armentrout '54, (9) Bill Dillard '54.
   Back row, left to right:
(1) Wally Robbins '53, (2 is unknown), (3) Raymond Trapp '52, (4) Richard Markham '52, (5) Carl Peterson '52, (6) Frank Waskowicz '53, (7) Bob Jones '53, (8) Bob Isett '53, (9) Mike Clower '52. (10) Wally Jones '52.

Okay, now let's have some help naming the second from left, back row!
