If you want to see how it still looks go to http://www.nfschools.net/schools/Maple.htm Now ain't that the grandest sight? Oh my goodness, how I remember Maple Avenue School! In 1936 I entered kindergarten and I still remember our teacher, Miss Pickett. Of course I was afraid of her at first (I was only five years old) and she looked the epitomy of an old maid. In retrospect, however, I remember her as a caring teacher. I still remember being in the first grade and I believe my teacher then was Mrs. Barrett although she was single at the time. Our family then moved to 81st Street in LaSalle and I went to school at Pacific Avenue School on Buffalo Ave. After I finished second and third grade, we then moved to Chilton Avenue and I went to fourth and fifth grade at Ashland Avenue School. In 1942 our family moved again and my last year of grade school ended up being Maple Avenue School. I was 11 years old and quickly going into my teens. Bob, now let me ask you a question. Did you ever go to grade school at Maple Ave.? When? vee
