In the 1940s I attended an elementary school with one and a half years' worth of students in each class. It was by far the best school I ever attended. It established my sense of accomplishment as a student. The teachers were great, although they had large class sizes, 30 or more students, and not enough books. I attended many different schools in my elementary and high school career, and this school stands out in my memory as a wonderful place.

I was in the fifth, sixth and seventh grades.
