DOWN MEMORY LANE

School days, school days still shine from student to teacher There is a notice on the Facebook site, Yes I was a Manchester Shiner Indiana that a reunion time is being planned for students of Manchester School. Those organizing the event seem to be of my children’s school times of the 1970s. I have Manchester School history from way back when I taught there for two years from 1959 to 1961. Now I believe I am the only living teacher of that time. My first year there I was just a young thing of twenty-four. In my school days, Manchester Township had a series of one room and two room elementary schools. My experience was in the one room

Day’s School that bordered our farmstead. Dolph McMullen was my teacher seven of the eight years. (He would later DORIS teach my chilBUTT dren.) There were all eight grades there the first four years I attended then the second four years the first four grades went of Todd School. When I began teaching I wished I could remember how Mr. McMullen managed us. My most vivid memories are of someone hitting a baseball into George Schwipp’s field, snowball fights, playing handy-over-the coal shed and playing marbles. I do not have one unpleasant memory from those school days.

Day's School in Manchester Township where I went to school, and the favorite activity at recess was baseball.

Fortunately, my parents allowed me to take their box Brownie camera to school when I was in the eighth grade, so I have three valued photos of those days. My favorite is the one where

the boys are playing ball and the girls handy-over. Since Manchester Township had no high school, our big class of seven went on to the Moores Hill High School, where I would graduate in

1953 in a class of 18. I remember those first few days at the big school were scary. While at Moores Hill, my principal, Mr. Heller, told me SEE SCHOOL, PAGE 4
