Ahhhh  Sew!!!!!!!
.
The 42  'probably'  just came out of the barn and is loading up with 
students bound for Beechview and beyond!!      Looks like Interurban in 
the back so a car is bound for Overbrook and possibly the one in the 
middle is for the 40 or 39 lines!!!        Never gave much thought to 
School Cars    ----    I always walked!!       Never had the occasion to 
ride.       Had I ridden to Hillsdale Grade school the walk up Hillsdale 
to the school would be almost as far as from home and the walk to high 
school was only 2 blocks!!!
