Frederic Burk School Children Boarding a Greyhound Bus for the San Francisco Zoo

On the morning of their 1960 field trip to the San Francisco Zoo, Frederic Burk School children, accompanied by their teachers and the bus driver, board a classic Greyhound bus. The sleek silver coach, decorated with the company’s iconic running greyhound logo, waits at the curb as the group prepares for the journey ahead. Once a common sight across America, Greyhound buses were a familiar part of mid-century travel for both long-distance trips and local charters. This moment captures the excitement of departure, marking the start of a memorable day away from the classroom.
