Thanks to Rowena Palmer, of Norway, we are able to share this interesting old photograph with our readers.

Many of you will remember Rowena from her years of service to the town of Norway. In fact, especially clear in our memories are the stylish outfits that Rowena always wore — she always looked so attractive and fashionable.

But back to the photo — Rowena tells us that it was taken in the 1940s, in front of the old Norway Elementary School, which was a yellow clapboard structure that was located on Main Street where Guy E. Rowe School is now.

And Rowena should know — her mother, Winona Palmer, is one of the teachers in the photo.

If you can name any of the other women in this photo, please share your information with us.

Also if you have an older photograph or postcard you’d like us to feature, we‘d love to hear from you. We are bit hard to reach by phone at times, so you might try an email or dropping your info off at the Advertiser and we’ll pick it up.
