Part 5 of my long journey
I really lucked up when I was in Grammar School because we lived just across the road from the school house. Back then it was a two room school with classes one, two and three in one room and classes four, five and six in the other room. Each room had one teacher and we stayed in the designated room for the day.
When the teacher was teaching one grade the other students sat and studied lessons until it was time for them to be taught.
We had what was called a Field Day once a year where students from different schools gathered at the High School in Walterboro for contests and games.
I was chosen to enter the Arithmetic competition two years in a row. I won first place the first year and came in second the second year. The second year I was chosen to enter both the Arithmetic and the English contests. I guess luck was on my side because I had a Migraine Headache and couldn't participate in the English class.
When they started the Lunch Program in our school my Mother managed it. It was located in a room behind the Class Rooms. She and another lady cooked lunch for all the classes and each grade would take turns going to the lunch room to get their lunch and bring it back to their desk and eat.
Things have really changed since then. We ate what was cooked for us and today it is so many things to choose from. My mother was transfered to the Walterboro High School and she continued to manage the Lunch Program for many years.
My Journey will continue later on.
