"Flooding and destroying school property" What??? the hills left over from when they excavated the hole to build the school 20 or 30 years before? Or could it have been the "baseball diamond" at the foot of the hills, where we had to make paths every Spring just to figure out where the bases were supposed to be. <br /><br />and 2. "ruining the road for driving" by making ruts and gullies so Eddie Elton got stuck. Almost as bad as the time we broke the water pipe to his chicken coop by jumping on it.

The math I learned there helped me breeze thru high school algebra, trig etc. - I remember, too, that Backswoods families were the only families in the school who had subscriptions to magazines. That came to light when, Mr Avery (I think), asked us to bring articles from magazines for some social studies projects. - Remember the recesses blocking up the rivers of melting snow?<br />SueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050431348747802485.post-28730638988278075182010-02-18T09:38:00.883-08:002010-02-18T09:38:00.883-08:00I think a lot about Jefferson these days.

We got to school real late that day and boy were we in trouble!. How about Mrs. Shultz's potatoe pancakes when all the mothers would come to help just so they could also indulge. <br /><br />I just found out, while shoveling snow the other day, that the family down the street was from the Milwaukee area, he from Fox Point and she from ....... You guessed it Greenfield! She went to elementry school at Glenmount (where ever that was, probably somewhere near the old Town Hall). She is younger because she went to Greenfield High School but her brother went to Pulaski because he was before the high schools.<br /><br />I never noted the big Catholic presense at Jefferson, but did when we took the bus to Wauwatosa because of all the Pope Pius kids that rode it. However they were on holiday most of the time. I always remember the real outlaw bebops among them that had greesed down sideburns, wore drapes ane chains dangling from their pockets :-) Well there,s a lot more I've been thinking about but got to go.<br /><br /> TAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1050431348747802485.post-56990279600547900432010-02-18T09:26:17.771-08:002010-02-18T09:26:17.771-08:00Great Picture!!
