The newer Broad St. School which had been closed until sometime this school year when children from Oakland Twp. were bussed here due to water quality issues at their school.

Keeping up with past and present happenings in a remarkable small town.
RSM Cemetery, Cresson, Pa.
We went to the graveyard to find themThe nuns from grade school daysLying beneath their crosses,All there except one,The delicate nun with soft handsShe whom we took music lessons from.
Alone with her nowIn the convent parlorBending over her pianoShe plays songs they had sung togetherAnd hears herself humming,When standing out among the crosses,Tearless, she confided,For having to wait so long.
She looks awayBut keeps on playing,Not lifting her eyesFrom off her soft white fingersTrembling lightlyOn yellowish ivory keys.
