As I remember the lunchroom...............
You could come down steps from the outside school yard or come down the
inside school steps. A short hallway led to the lunchroom door. As you
entered; on the same wall as the door, to your right, was a long counter and
an opening to the kitchen where you could get milk, cookies and pretzels.
No hot meals, you brought your lunch in a bag or lunchbox. The room had
rows of long tables where you sat and ate your lunch.
When you were done, you went out into the yard until the bell rang.
I visited the school about 6 years ago. There were no murals in the first
floor hall as there is now and no lockers on the third floor. I remember
that Miss Arabella Turney's 8th grade classroom was the last room on the
east side of the hallway.
The pictures were great to see.
(An assembly program, a tour of the school and a luncheon elsewhere would be
a great idea for a reunion)
