Hi Joyce - I see you have found the names for the picture. I finally
found mine-believe it or not. The person next to L.W. Brown (he was
a Doctor in
Troy) is Bob Card. His real name may have been Bowen, but his
Dad was know as Bowen and he always went by Bob. The Merritt brothers,
I have as Mike (not Myles - again this may have been his given name) and
Merle.

Joyce,
I see that Don found the names of the basketball players and you've
added them. (Actually Janet found them). The Coach's first name is Harry
and Harry Crumbling was also the Principal. Myles and Merle Merritt are
twins.
This info is from Nellie Dickerson who pulled out her husband, Laverne
Dickerson's 1931-32 yearbook, the team photo is on page 72.

Nellie, his wife wrote in reference to Boy's Basketball Team, Champions
of S.V. 1-AA 1931-32
"For sometime I wondered where I might get a yearbook. Then it dawned
on me that my husband graduated in that class. He had taught . .
. in
rural schools but only graduated from a 3 yr H.S. at Shunk. The
University of PA would not admit him. So he studied a summer and
took exams to make up credits for required subjects, which he could not
claim as Shunk didn't have enough teachers.
The next year he entered Troy - a married man.
A dentist attended an opera - in which he (Laverne) sang.
He asked a H.S. girl sitting beside him "Who's that boy?" "He's no
boy - he's a married man." (her reply) He was in all of the musical
activities and seemed to blend in well. The next time I went to the
dentist this was his story."
Joyce, thank you for putting the past together, one piece at a time.

Joyce,
When I saw this photo and the year, I was certain that Nellie Rockwell
Dickerson would know the full names of these players, and she does.
Janice is her daughter and graciously relayed this message to her mother
for me. This is in Nellie's handwriting . . . she's amazing at 97
yrs.
