I started 1st Grade at a one room school in York County, PA. One teacher taught grades 1 through 8. That was 1944. Midway through 4th Grade, we moved to another area in York County and we attended another one room school. In 1948 we moved again, still in York County, with a Consolidated Elementary School, where each grade had its own room. Then all new schools were built in 1952, the old schools were abandoned, and we were up to date.
I too lived in PA. and attended one room/two room schools with out door plumbing.
for my first three years and in my fourth year, the best thing happened to my family.., we moved to Cleveland Ohio...
I attended 4,5,6 grade at Scranton Elementary School..now that location is an Interstate High Way.. Then for 7th grade I went to Lincoln High School, just down the road a bit..then we moved again and for 8 and 9 grade I attended Thomas Jefferson Jr. H.S. and then one more move and 10,11,12 grade I attended Lincoln again... and graduated from there in 1961..
Now that I'm old, retired, I left OHIO to return to PA..Somerset County, only because my pay check, wanted to move back to the COUNTRY...I could easily relocate any where with a snap of the fingers...but hubby still likes this rural area...so here I am...LOL...
