Weinel's
Elementary
Yellow
Brick School - burned down about 1960 and was located besides Freilino's
market on Rt. 356
The Pleasant Valley
School building was demolished in order to construct the Amos K. Hutchinson
Bypass. I attend that school in the 1940s. It had two rooms, there were
3 grades in each room and, more of less, there were 8 students in each
grade. Grades recited in turn which meant that the two not involved had
to either learn to concentrate very well as they worked on their lessons or
they listened to the other grades. If one was fairly quick by the time
he or she got to grade 3 or grade 6 you knew the material pretty well.
The teachers I knew were Mildred Cadzow and Louise Johnson. Discipline
was not infrequently administered by one of the teachers who were quite
skilled
at wielding the "Little Red Paddle". David J. Stiller
