Banner School #51

Banner School #51

According to my mom, my aunt and records showing that my

grandfather attended this school as well in the early 1910s.

When was it built?  It was tore down sometime after 1970

when this photo was taken.

Aunt Carol told me this story:

"My Aunt Donna was my teacher once. One of my class mates and I, 

I think around 3rd grade, got ourselves wet in some ditch water.  

Holy cow you think we had set off a bomb!! 

She told me wait till you get home I am going to talk to your parents

 and tell them exactly what you did and you will be in big trouble. 

I was scared sh!tless.  Hid up in my room 

and sure enough she showed up."

Education is what
remains
after one has forgotten
what one has learned
in school.
 ~Albert Einstein

I think everyone
should go to college
and get a degree
and then spend six months
as a bartender and
six months as a cabdriver.
Then they would really be educated.
~Al McGuire

Learning is a treasure 

that will follow its owner everywhere.  

~Chinese Proverb

Don't you love New York in the fall? 

It makes me wanna buy school supplies. 

I would send you a bouquet of newly sharpened pencils 

if I knew your name and address.
