[John Swindler]

Edgewood had tuition students from Forest Hills until Churchhill (???) was opened in fall 1963.  And there was a tuition student from Wilmerding in my class.  Commuted on the Pennsy (just to add a rail theme) while it lasted.  Not sure about Rich's final year, but he was in class of '65.
 
Even into PAT days, there were school trippers for South Hills High operated on 42/38, although they might have been 43 cars.  They waited for the students behind the administration building.
