I got in a hurry and didn’t take enough care in taking this shot. So I will try again later, but still I wanted to post this picture of the school from which my aunt, uncle, mother and two cousins graduated. The school grounds abutted with my grandparent’s property and Mother said she could head out the door after lunch when the first bell rang and be there before it stopped.

I went there for one six-week period when my grandmother broke her hip and Mother and I stayed. Even at third grade age, I was astounded at how the steps were worn in the middle from all the kids trudging into school.

I remember Mother received this postcard mounted on one of the bricks from the original building. Or maybe she had to pay for it. Heck, I don’t know. I’ll try and find the yearbook for 1944 and post pictures of the graduating class – all eight of them.
