Rare Vintage 8mm Film: PS 74, Buffalo, NY - Halloween, 1932

- Опубліковано 15 бер 2013
- Here is a very rare piece of 8mm film featuring PS 74 - Hamlin Park School in Buffalo, New York. As you can see from the children's costumes, it's Halloween, 1932. The music is by Bert Hirsch, The Little Things in Life (1930), via archive.org. It's not known with certainty who shot this film, but it may have been someone who taught there at the time. This film was transferred to HD by Cineworks in Vancouver in March 2013.

My great grandfather was born in 1932. He's still around and doin alright. Him and my great mamaw will be married 70 years this year. They got married in 1950 and soon after had my mamaw. Lot of lifetimes in this video and a lot of memories I bet.
If you time traveled back to that time and just saw the buildings and houses, you wouldn't know if it was today or 1932.
so young. their whole life ahead of them. hope is was a good one.
what a great view of my home city, i wish i lived back then ,thank you for sharing it
My sisters and I went to 74 and lived on Goulding. Wow. Small world.
What a rare find. Interesting to see the mix of costumes at the time, all homemade. Also, at around 1:30 or so, it looks like some type of ceremony near the end of the school year, perhaps the last day of school.
Wow I grew up in this area as I attended this school as a child P.S. 74 where I now teach
Oh, my heart!
This was my very first school. It still look the same today. Wow fresh memories.
Which school is that altamese I want to 82?
Priceless
Wow I started PS 74 in kindergarten way back in later 50's. Gee those were the days. Everything looks pretty much the same from the video as it looks today.
Oh, you are so right on both counts! This reminds me heavily of Alfred Eisenstaedt's Children at a Puppet Theater, Paris, 1963. Remarkably, the school building still stands today...
when kids were kids. The costumes were so innocent - nothing dark, zombie, etc. One of the worst years of the great Depression but they were still having fun
Must have been pretty warm that Halloween. No coats.
Thanks for sharing that
You can see so much mischief in that girl at :24
Great save - but I can't help but think that these 10-year-olds are going to be 19 in 1941.
Wheeler brothers conttactors in the 1940

I miss that building. Got to to know it well from about 1979-1986...
This is right in the middle of the great depression.
looks like the middle of the great Oppression....wheres all the indigenous and black kids...they were just as if not more innocent than these little kiddies.....
All of them are skinny. This easily demonstrates the impact of fast food and technology.
Plus lots of exercise from playing outside and walking most of the time.
Thank You so much for all these videos, this by far the best, all those little faces, you wonder , who is still here. Amazing this was when America was Great. Go look at these places now, you wonder where America Pride went.
John S Thanks! I agree!
America was great? In 1932, the United States was suffering through the Great Depression. Fully a third of American workers couldn't get a job. It's nice that the kids in PS 74 had Halloween fun; millions of other kids weren't so fortunate. How much "America Pride" do you think people had? Aside from the economic woes, an entire section of the country was devoted to the total subjugation of a race. Labor unions often had violent fights against corporations for fair wages and working conditions. Women were second-class citizens. The America of today is far greater than the America of 1932.
Oh come on. There's a social fabric intact here you can feel right through this film that is now terribly frayed, and that identity politics is sure to fray some more.
dont ever forget old people had a life too
Boomer Lives Matter.
Wow. Amazing.
I bet many of the boys you see in this film faught in ww2
they couldn't have... they look much younger than 18, the minimum age of enlistment in the US
The war was 9 years away and even if these boys were 7 or 8 in this movie, they would have been old enough to fight in 10 years or so, right in the middle of the war years.
it is possible
That's exactly what I was thinking.
fscap811 younger kids fought they were like 15
They're all dressed as The Little Rascals!
Hard to think that most, if not all, of these people are dead now. I wonder what became of those kids?
must have been a huge school.
The Greatest generation
The great depression
I wonder how many of those kids are still alive. Probably be upper 90s
My parents were about that age. They would have been inter 90s. They passed away years ago though.
Greetings jmv! I'm making a little documentary about Halloween and was wondering if I could get permission to use some clips from this footage? Please let me know. Be well!
Sorry I didn’t have notifications turned on and only just saw this! You’re welcome to use it, but it’s probably too late now!
this is my school..wtf💀🖐🏽
I'm from Buffalo New York......
Me too!
I was raised in West Seneca born 1967
Why is no one wearing a Josh Allen jersey?
Almost everyone on this film is dead...
The good ol' days. Not a single you-know-what causing trouble.
What exactly do you mean by YOU KNOW WHAT causing trouble??? Who shot the school Columbine??? What race were they???
Look up on the history of Halloween. There are reporting's from the 1920's-1950's that describe the horrible mischief and damage some of these kids caused to their communities. So I don't know whether I'm misinterpreting your comment or you're just being an actual asshat.
Exactly! Looks like good times!
looks about white
Notice the boys wore ties and the girls wore dresses. Try that in today's schools.
Back when people had respect for themselves and others
We had to wear dresses and skirts until the early 70s. That was so much better to wear jeans and pants, especially in winter.
They're all dead now.
