Joan Hostetler,
Thank you for answering my mail so quickly. I copied off all of the pictures of the school's destruction with the same unhappiness that would accompany the word that such bastions of Education as Harvard or Columbia Universities had been sacrificed to time. Here in California, if we build one new school per day we can't keep up with the surge in population.
It will always be open to criticism when a school is destroyed and the need for education is of such high need.
I understand there is a new school, but why sacrifice the old school?

Fran & Ben,

You really brought back "old" memories.All the schools must have been ran about the same.I went to PS#15, We had milk also and yes it was a real treat to get graham crackers. We had Weekly Religious Education at the Beville Avenue EUB church. Which I attended and was married at. It was bought by IPS and torn down. Also PS #15 was torn down also and a new school built. The only thing that remains from the old school is the 2 arch ways from the entrances.
Every morning they played the Lords Prayer and no one moved if you weren't in your seat you were late.
I always looked forward to the Christmas program. I think my favorite was when the boys sang We Three kings and we sang O Holey Night.

Did you sing at the Easter Sunrise Services on the circle with your church choir?

I went to the Rivoli from the time I was small with my older sisters and brother.

I baby sat for some people that worked at the Brookside Tavern on Friday nights. They picked me up after school and I spent the night. They had 3 children and I made $1.00. On my way home on Saturday they would stop at the bakery on 10th street and I would buy a dozen yeast donuts to take home to my brothers and sister and parents. They were hot and Oh! so good.

Thanks for sharing your fond memories even though I didn't go to PS# 54 I have many friends that did also it sounds as if our schools were very similar. I too shall never for get that part of my life as long as I live.

Marilyn
