This is the sign that was always posted down below the hill by the school. I wonder who pulled it out and saved it all these years. I think the school was closed in 1950 because that was when the state graded schools came in. To think that sign stood guard at the door all this time.
A picture of some of the blackboards on the wall. I remember writing on one of these,"Iwill not poke people with my pencil", one hundred times!!! One of the naughty big boys locked me and James in the woodshed at recess.(I did not like James!) When I sat back at my desk I poked that bully with a real sharp pencil! Well, he had it coming!!
These little chair always sat way up in the front of the room so the first and second graders could use them for their classes. Now there they hang way up there a mile high. I guess they would have been stolen long ago otherwise.
My final shot of fond memories at the Roosevelt school in Perkinstown,Wisconsin. I don't know the lady- she just stepped out the door as I snapped the camera. Guess she was here for some good chili too. Good-bye old friend--- I'm gonna try to reach that bell rope one more time!!! Rita Westrich Emmerich
