The school in Trumbauersville, missing the bell tower though, we used to ring the bell every morning. (by pulling the rope no less). It is now a private School.  Its is a split level with the class rooms (4) on the upper level and the "gym" on the lower level (right side) and Maintenance and furnace etc on the right. They also have the restrooms there, put in when I was in 4th or 5th grade. Much better the going outside to the "outhouse".
