1967 Springfield High School Retina Yearbook

"The graduating class of 1967 acknowledges the role of our principal in shaping our high school experience by dedicating its yearbook to Mr. Glen M. Weakley. Students and faculty alike have been guided by the high standards which he sets and the aspira-
tions which he holds for Springfield. Mr. Weakley's many ideas and programs in the various aspects of education have kept our class in motion for three years. He exerts a beneficial influence on the policies of every student group, and his suggestions
have helped to clarify our thinking. His qualities of leadership make Mr. Glen Weakley a subject worthy of this dedication."

"Downtown Flourtown could be Main Street, U.S.A. Bethlehem Pike runs wide and prosperous through the business district. The straight white spire of the First Presbyterian Church is a beacon of inspiration on a blue-sky day."

Is Throwback Thursday still a thing? If not we are bringing it back!
Our old firehouse at 1528 Bethlehem Pike, with the 1936 “Big Hahn”, 1951 American LaFrance 75’ Ladder Truck and our 1954 American LaFrance Pumper.
We are lucky to still own this building as it is next door to our current firehouse at 1526 Bethlehem Pike!
