Amazing photo. I remember Mrs. Fitts who was my 2nd or 3rd grade teacher at Vicks Elementary School. I remember the end of school year class picnic in her back yard, eating hot dogs. It would have been about 1957-58.
Amazing! My uncle is in the original photo — first boy, second row from top.
Oh, so SPECIAL!
My Mom was in attendance there around 1933. What I would give to see her as a child!!!!
