My First School

This is where I started in 1944…

That seems like another time and place in time..
The 1st grade was located on the ground level on the right , 2nd grade was on the second floor…
No air conditioning, wood burning stoves for heat, we were tough kids in those days…


My First School

School History:

In 1891, at a cost of $6,000.00, the new school located on the northeast corner of First and High Streets was completed. It was a two-story structure with four classroms. It was built of native cut sandstone obtained from the J.A. Fleener farm north of Cheyenne Bridge. The original bell from the Little White School House was housed in an attractive belfry that was constructed atop the structure.
Four new teachers were employed including Professor Lewis as School Master, Lou Blair, Jappa Mason and Edna Stevens. Students were Pearl Cooper, Will Gray, Lillie Gray, Jessie Hodges, Zella Peterson, Wallace Smirl, Arthur Stone, Amy Taylor and Della Wood.
The students had the privilege of naming the school and Lincoln was unanimously chosen.
The school served well for many years but eventually became old and unsafe. On August 4, 1952, the Board of Education voted to abandon the building.

gone gone away

If you look on the left at the people who have left comments here you will quite a few…

I noticed that they have stopped commenting here and was wondering where they had gone…

Well I found out, they have become addicted to FaceBook…

Will FaceBook be the death of blogs?…

To respect the moral values of those who do have some morals, I have decided to hide the offering behind the curtain so you gotta click the option to feast on the wonders of “Sinful Sunday“.
