Description

In 1969, in the Anthracite Coal Region of Northeastern Pennsylvania, the Dickson City, Olyphant, and Throop school districts merged to become the Mid-Valley School District. Soon afterward plans were made to build the new Mid-Valley Junior-Senior High School. The plans were put on hold indefinitely. The Pennsylvania Department of Labor and Industry condemned the elementary schools in Olyphant and Dickson City and ordered them closed. Some residents wanted a new school built; others wanted the old schools renovated. Lively debate ensued. The reasonable people prevailed. The Mid-Valley Secondary Center was completed in 1981. This book has two parts, History and Memoir. The History part of the book consists of factual data about the schools of Olyphant from 1855 through 1969. The author intertwines some stories that his father, his grandfather, and his great-uncle had told him. These stories add a personal perspective to the history. He also includes some information about Dickson City and Throop schools. This is background information for the Memoir part of the book. This is a narrative about his public school education starting in 1969 with kindergarten, and concluding with graduation in 1982. He also includes an Epilogue with a snapshot of the current status of items discussed.
