Last day of school

The end of the school year brings joy over completing the school year. It also brings a sense of accomplishment and the start of summer.

It is the beginning and an ending. Saying goodbye to classmates, teachers and friends you may not see over the summer, but also anticipating the adventures you may have before the beginning of another school year.

Looking back at older photos of the last day of school with todays photos you see how little things have changed . Enjoy the photos and let me know if you have any comments, questions or ideas.

About Paul McCardell

I'm Paul McCardell, a librarian at The Baltimore Sun. The Sun ran its first photo on September 30, 1901 and today has more than 1 million photos in its collection from many different sources including staff, wire services and studios.

The Baltimore Sun staff has been blessed with some of the finest award-winning photographers, including my father, Walter McCardell, who was a Sun photographer for 43 years.

This blog will bring back to light many of the photos from The Sun's archive, recalling significant moments in history and major newsmakers, sparking memories and discussion about the pictures or events.
