Childhood Memories - #4 Addendum

Tweet

I thought of a couple other things about elementary school; so I'm writing an addendum: Since almost all of the kids walked to school, we had a very friendly cop called Mack that would cross us over the final main street before the school. I was a member of the Campfire Girls; and they would have meetings at the senior high public school within walking distance from my school. Our leader got a divorce after a relatively short time; and the group was disbanded. I remember the "highlight" of the day would be if one of the priests came into the room. One of the kids would ask for his blessing. That was big stuff back then. Religion was woven into EVERY subject. I remember something about the times tables being created by God. I kid you not. I always did very well in school except for Handwriting (I still have very bad handwriting -- my hand can't keep up with what my brain puts out) and Religion (which didn't go over well with the nuns). I am going to continue this series on into junior high and high school because there were some interesting events during that time. Photo Credit: Pixabay
