Dear oopiedoopie-ga; Thank you for allowing me an opportunity to answer your interesting question. About 1961 the school buildings began undergoing what would eventually be substantial alteration. PHMC CULTURAL RESOURCES DATABASE http://www.philadelphiabuildings.org/pab/app/phmc_display.cfm?KeyNo=116942 It might not be very familiar to you anymore, but the old German Township High School campus located at 113 College Ave. in McClellandtown is now the home of Albert Gallatin North Middle School. ALBERT GALLATIN NORTH MIDDLE SCHOOL http://www.albertgallatin.k12.pa.us/Jrnorth/ To begin your search for yearbooks I recommend you contact the local libraries in Fayette County. Many libraries archive area school yearbooks as a general practice. Incidentally, the German-Masontown Public Library also acts as the school library for the Albert Gallatin School District (the old German Township School District) so this is probably an excellent place to start. GERMAN-MASONTOWN PUBLIC LIBRARY 9 SOUTH WASHINGTON STREET MASONTOWN, PA 15461 http://www.germaslibrary.org/ Alternatively I recommend you attempt to contact fellow alumni through one of the school reunion sites and online alumni organizations. It is not uncommon for people who frequent these types of bulletin boards to share their yearbooks and photos with others.: REUNION.COM http://static.reunion.com/us/pennsylvania/mcclellandtown/germantownship/ CLASSMATES.COM http://www.classmates.com/s.tf/Pennsylvania/McClellandtown/German%20Township%20High%20School/ Or http://www.classmates.com/s.tf/Pennsylvania/McClellandtown/ Finally, I recommend you place a ?yearbook(s) wanted? ad in the local Herald Standard newspaper. HERALD STANDARD ONLINE http://www.zwire.com/site/news.asp?brd=2280&pag=460&dept_id=468616 Why the Herald Standard, you might ask.? Well, last year there was an article that ran in this newspaper alerting the German Township Class of 1960 that there was an upcoming reunion. Obviously we can assume that many former students of German Township School still read this paper, or the ad wouldn?t have been posted there. Based on that logical conclusion I believe this newspaper could potentially prove to be a valuable source in your search for local yearbooks. HERALD STANDARD.COM COMMUNITY CALENDAR http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=14714892&BRD=2280&PAG=461&dept_id=469024&rfi=6 In the meantime here are some old memories to reflect on: From the Archives of The Brownsville Telegraph BROWNSVILLE TIME CAPSULE 1959 http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~glenntunneycolumn/capsule254.htm 1959 http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~glenntunneycolumn/capsule249.htm 1958 http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~glenntunneycolumn/capsule171.htm 1958 http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~glenntunneycolumn/capsule114.htm 1957 http://freepages.history.rootsweb.com/~glenntunneycolumn/capsule113.htm I hope you find that my research exceeds your expectations.

I'm not sure if this will help, but: Evidently the school must be closed as it is referred to as "the former German Township High School" on various web sites. As to more information and yearbooks, I'd try contacting a graduate from the school. There was a recent reunion from the class of 1960: http://www.zwire.com/site/news.cfm?newsid=14714892&BRD=2280&PAG=461&dept_id=469024&rfi=6 Perhaps if you access the rest of the article you can find one of the reunion organizers. Otherwise, you could try classmates.com and see if you could contact someone that way. I hope this is some help. Have a good day. |

I saw you were looking for a yearbook from German TownShip High School in McClellandtown Pennsylvania. They are hard to find, but don't lose hope. I run a small website with people in the same situation (they can't find their yearbook). If you would like you can post a free ad on my site and I will list it with other yearbook ads from Pennsylvania. I also offer resources that will help you find your yearbook and have the result emailed to you when it is found. In the future I plan to add more resources to help find your yearbook.
