Minicapt,
Are you sure?

I think that’s me on the right.

Cuidado,
I must have missed the picture.

I taught second grade in a big, old building like that. It was the late 1990’s and we didn’t have a cafeteria or a gym. Each teacher would take a week’s turn staying with both classes during lunch while they ate. The desks still has the inkwells, although empty. I loved it! Best teaching experience I ever had.
It was torn down a year or two after I left. The city decided to build a new one and took land belonging to two WWII veterans, brothers. The land had been in the family for many years. They fought bitterly. One died during the battle and the other shortly thereafter. They city won. The new school seems tainted to me and I’m glad I never had to teach there.

Erin,
Some of the classrooms in my elementary school were just like the school where you taught. The desks there also had inkwell holes in the corners. We didn’t have a gym or cafeteria and so we ate lunch at our desks. The nuns just sat.
The school is still there. I wonder what the insides look like now?

Also, I just noticed the girls are wearing pants. I didn’t even wear pants to school until second grade…1977. Weird. I don’t think this photo is as old as I first thought. Maybe late 60’s? or even early 70’s.

Erin,
The picture is from the late 40’s. I didn’t get to ear pants until I was a sophomore in college!
