La Salle High School, Cumberland, MD : Winter 1958

It took much more than a mere inch of snow to declare a winter holiday at the old La Salle HS in Cumberland (MD), nestled in the Allegheny Mountains. Not even many Brothers know that the Christian Brothers had taught in Cumberland “back in the day” (1851-1853), and then returned in 1907 to start up the old La Salle. La Salle closed in 1966 when the new (and co-ed) Bishop Walsh HS opened. This wintry scene is from the 1957-58 school year.
