Kings Park High School 1940

Restored and Edited by Steve Weber.

This clip was restored from a few old VCR tapes we has in the musum's collection. The original films appear to have been lost to history, the only copy we had were these VCR tapes. It appears that the film was played on a screen and taped using an old analog camera, then transferred to the VCR tape. I converted these tapes to a digital format, edited and clean up the view. A great historical find.

Thanks, The school is the RJO School on church street, next to St Josephs Church, Ralph J Osgood, (RJO) actually took these films over a period of 15 years, starting in BW and ending in the early 60 in color.

thats so amazing, i hadn't realized that RJO used to be k-12...plus there wasn't that many kids....it really cool to see the buildings i see almost everyday like that.

oh, because that school is pretty small, and the one in the video seemed like it was at least 3 stories high. I got confused. RJO is across the street from St.Joseph's, right?

that's really really cool. I forgot, where is the old high school?
