1930-1931 Winslow Kindergarten
Row 1 L to R: Elden McGillem, William Berlin, William Mills, Brice Rumble, Jack Millard |
Info: The Kindergarten class was not part of the public school. Parents paid a small tuition fee to the teacher. Daily classes met in the empty building west of the Winslow Hardware Co. store, shown in the background. The school room was heated by a single coal burning heater. Toilet facilities were across the alley at the rear of the building, along with those for the other stores along Center Street – Wells’ Grocery, Fred Millard’s Barber Shop, and Julian’s Grocery. William “Bill” Cooper owned the hardware store, later re-named the Quality Hardware. Note the team of harnessed horses (extreme left, with one not visible) at the hitching post. This area remained until 1950. In the background above the horse, the roof, porch and southwest corner of Brenton’s Funeral Home is visible. Picture furnished by Bill Berlin. |
