(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - I have very fond memories of this school. Back in my day it went through the eight grade. My first grade teacher Ms. Blakely gave me my first whipping for talking in 1948. She also gave my daughter a whipping for talking some years later when she was in the first grade. Ms.Adams taught me 2nd thru 4th grade.
Things were definitely different back then.
