Lewis Rutherford Morris Central School, Morris as seen from West St., circa 1955

Here's an unused postcard with a view of MCS from West St., most likely from the 1950s. The usual spelling is Rutherfurd without any use of the letter o, but in this case the name was spelled Rutherford.

A lot of alterations and additions have taken place since this photo was taken. Some questions come to mind.

Where did students eat lunch?

Was there a cafeteria with lunch service or did everyone bring lunch and eat at their desk?
