JAMES APPLEBACH IN YEARBOOK PHOTOS

1951 - James' senior photo. Have an 8 x 10 in my photo collection.

The above quote is beside his senior photo, so he would have or did graduate 4 years ahead of mom.

I did not know until I found these photos on Ancestry that my father had gone to Penn Manor in Lancaster, PA - just like my mom.  According to his siblings, he did not actually graduate, but quit at some point in his senior year.  I cannot say this is a fact, however, after years of going thru piles of paper records, I have never found a high school diploma for him.

1-28-2025 Update:

I did contact Penn Manor and the wonderful secretary was able to find James' high school record in some box in the basement of the school. I need to scan it in and add it to this post. He did not graduate and from the notes in it, was in trouble or causing trouble during school. His grades were poor. 

I do remember my mom saying that he was very afraid that he would be found out as a liar about graduating later when he went onto college and the churches he pastored in. 

I am going back through papers because I feel that mom mentioned to me that he did "graduate" by taking a test in the early years of their marriage.

1949 - Aunt June is in the top photo, and my father is in the bottom - they were twins.
