Centre County Library & Historical Museum has added the Centre County School Class Photographs collection to PA Photos and Documents. The collection includes class photographs of high school, junior high, and grade school students with their teachers, and even classes of nurses. The photographs go back to at least 1887, with most from the early 1900’s. 
The students (12 boys and 12 girls) are not identified. The teacher is Miss Mildred Tobias (1892 - 1987) who was part of the Central State Normal School (Lock Haven, PA) Class of 1912; her parents lived in Mt. Eagle, PA at the time. Miss Tobias taught school mostly in the Lock Haven, PA area during her teaching career.
