How about these memories

It actually reminds me of our grammar school class room as a kid.
In the 50's we lived in a small town called Riverdale, IL.
My Sister Arlene had anywhere from 6-8 classmates at her 8th grade graduation.
We had some new folks move in and in my class we had 10-12 thru 8th grade.
This school is a dead ringer for our old school "Bowen". Steel desk with a wooden lift table.
Our Principle was what we called her "old Lady Hedke" she was older than dirt and had been there since its conception. But she was a nice old lady who cared about kids.
School windows back then were huge - two story building with a fenced in playground.
Wow what memories.
Note! They are saying their Pledge of Allegiance - one little girl is a lefty (like me).
