    3. Morning Listers, as requested I had a little interview with Myla Thayer, 98 1/2 yrs. young. Sorry to say she does not recall a Mabel Payne nor a Waldo Thayer, nor a Everett Thornton.. SHE DID HAVE A BROTHER WINSOR tHAYER/.. Myla lived in the part of Mendon called So. Milford. She always says she was an outie Mendonite not an Innie. :)) \\She was born in 1906 the youngest child of George & Minnie ( Bicknell) Thayer. She graduated in 1922 and members of her class were.. Harold Lowell Kenneth Morrison William ( Billy) Irons Mabel Metcalf Florence Bagg Grace Wood and Myla She had several principles and teachers during her 4 years of High School.. which was at the now Clough Sc. Mr. Herbet?? Wisbey Prin. Miss Stearns VP (maybe Marion?) T She believes a Mr. Wigren was the last principle before Mr. Clough ?? and a Mr. Robbins High Sc. was a one room classroom and a Recitation Room where they went to recite and discuss their studies. The clss of 1921 Nellie Rucker Marion Bartlet Lillian Metcalf Phyliss Whiting Aldo Sabatinelli ( the only male ) Myla had brother Horace Thayer w graduated in 1918 in the same class as Martha Lowell ( Harold and Donald's sister) She also had another brother who grad. in 1920 Winsor Thayer Her other siblings were Doris Grad. 1914 Hilda- 1916 Grace (missed date) Charlotte Marlowe was the wife of Harold (Putt) Lowell In the Mendon Historical Museum we have photo's of these and many other early graduating classes. Well, Jean wondering if your Ma remembers any of these other early 20th century folks. :)) Myla has a remarkable memory.. I believe Grace Wood was her dearest friend at that time. OH! Myla has never married. Hope someone can relate to some of these above names. Have a Nice Day Alice
