Hi Ginny,

I went from kindergarten thru the 8th grade. I also remember the fair (Main Street), trading cards, playing in the yard and also the dog shows. Don't remember Gordon though! I lived in Chestnut Hill on Abington Ave. and walked to school. Went home for lunch. Did they have food in the lunch room or did you have to bring your lunch? I hated gym and the gym uniforms were so ugly no one looked good in them! Were you there when Miss Yaeger was the principal- i was affraid of her! I remember the same teachers also I liked one that was big on the Audubon Society?

I have alot of good memories about going to Jenks and am hoping to hear about more people from my class. Both my sisters went to Jenks and I remember alot of there friends too. It would be fun to have an all school reunion to see how many people would show up. My sisters were remembering having a class photo taken I can't remember ever having a photo taken. How about you? Also remember the school plays.

Do you remember Miss Kern? She was very pretty a Natalie Wood type. I think most of the boys had a crush on her. I was very tall and Nina and I both had bigger desks at one point because we couldn't get our legs under the standard size desks. Remember the dances in the basement. We (girls) would put one of our shoes in a big pile and the guys would pick one and he would have to dance with that persons shoes. They never picked mine as they knew who it belonged to by the size. I was much taller than most of the boys.
